I think it has something to do with the channel that the phone and/or
base station is using. When I first upgraded my home network to use
airport extreme instead of regular airport, i immediately noticed a
problem where if someone was actively using our home telephone it would
disrupt the communications with the base station. I went into the
airport admin utility and told the base station to use a different
channel and the problem immediately went away.
