Does anyone know whether it is possible, and if so, how to get a Nortel
M3902 phone working over an ordinary POTS line?

A M3902 is a single line digital phone and will not work on an Analog
POTS line

Follow this procedure:

1) Remove the line cord from the M3902.
2) Remove the handset from the M3902.
3) Remove the M3902.
4) Produce a generic 500 set without handset and line cord.
5) Plug the M3902's handset into the generic 500 set.
6) Plug the M3902's line cord into the generic 500 set.
7) Plug the other end of the line cord into an analog jack.

Voila'! Your "modified" M3902 now works with a POTS line!

WARNING: Your M3902 handset may not properly seat in the generic 500
set's cradle. This may necessitate rigging some kind of contraption to
keep the "modified" M3902 off line when not in use.

(Sorry about that...)

No, an M3902 can not work with a POTS line. <-- short answer

Well, PROCEDURE 2 could be...

1) Buy an Option 11c
2) Insert Line Card
3) Insert Trunk Card
4) Program Option 11c
6) Cross POTS line and M3902 to switch
7) etc...
