I hope this will clarify how it works and answer Josheph's e-mail about homepna. It works very well. You get dsl speeds nothing super fast. But if there are a lot of guest on it will slow down due to the bottleneck at the dsl going out. I got between 450-600 in the guest rooms.
You misunderstand my concern, ... [u]nless you have ethernet to homepna bridges in each room...
This appears to be the case: There was a nice picture of the hardware tree at the bottom of the converter link previously provided by Tim. There is a homePNA-Ethernet converter in each room, into which both the phone & your laptop tap. Take a look at

Of course the converter isn't free, but you can then manage both the telephones and internet connections through one medium, and - at least on new construction - you could avoid having to wire for either or both Ethernet and phone: a lot of wire.
