Is AT&T DSL Direct considered a landline?

I guess if/when this device is offered in my area I will investigate using it only if AT&T will consider my AT&T DSL Direct lines as landlines so that I would not have an additional monthly charge to get the unlimited domestic calling. AT&T DSL Direct lines do have a telephone number and a dial tone, and there is a monthly charge for the physical line, so perhaps they might consider it a landline? (Yeah, I know, when pigs fly...)

Otherwise, I already have a WiEx Cell Extender that provides good indoor coverage using an external mast mounted antenna.. It also does not use any of my DSL bandwidth, nor does it require what sounds like an iffy GPS registration in order to work.

My Dry Loop DSL/DSL Direct line only has a bogus phone number for billing purposes, and there is no dial tone...

Here in former BellSouth territory, DSL Direct lines have a real telephone number with dial tone, but it is limited to outbound calls only to the ANAC number.
