Q1: If one has the Base-3 why would one need an additional Base-1 to do anything?
The only way a Cab1 can communicate with Base3 is via a Base1 and it's serial connection to the Base3 via a SER2. If he wants to let a child use a Cab1 then that's the way he would do it.
Q2: Is Dave implying that the serial data output by the Base-1 when a button is pushed on the Cab-1 could be redirected into the Base-3 via a null modem cable so that the Base-3 could then respond to, and execute, that button push as though it came normally, as from the screen of a phone?
I don't remember if a null modem is involved but yes.
Remember that the Base-3 will already respond to a Cab-1L without needing its base (the Base-1L) or a null modem cable. Since the Cab-1L is very similar to a Cab-1 in form and function a child should be able to handle it just as well as a Cab-1.
