Are there cordless phone systems that can be set up in the home with a
base station that a cell phone can be plugged into and extensions that
can be placed around the house?

No, what I'm considering is eliminating the separate home phone. If I
lived in a small apartment it would be a no-brainer, but I've got three
floors.

http://www.skype.com/  about $58/YEAR with its own incoming phone number
no spammer ever calls (they're in a modem block).  Skype out is unlimited
calling to any phone in the USA/Canada from any broadband connection in
the USA and Canada...24/7/365.  My wireless router on cable broadband
connects to Skype on a Netgear SPH101 wifi Skype phone.  It will have a
first class signal from your wireless router to any point in the house.  
Fits right in your pocket.  There are also boxes that will connect Skype
to your "previously landlined" wired telephones already installed.  Skype
makes a fantastic, really CHEAP, home telephone if you have any kind of
broadband that's always connected.  Your own broadband wifi on 2400 Mhz
doesn't have those big dead spots cellular does coming in from an outside
tower miles away.

Skype won't dial 911, so preprogram your cop's regular phone number into
the Skype contact list, which is stored on Skype's server and downloads
to as many Skype phones as you care to run (up to 9) simultaneously.

Tell your landline company bye bye for me.....Bell$not was shocked.  "Are
you moving?", the B$ operator asked.  "No, ma'am.  Landline telephones
are obsolete and WAY too expensive, now.  (She's got Skype, herself, now
at home.  I told her how to get connected...(c;)

See www.telular.com .These units are intended to be used just as you
described.  The broadcast industry also uses them in their "live trucks" for
program and intercom feeds to the people you see out in the field.
