HPNA seems a cost-effective solution too. Linksys, which is available locally, has HPNA ethernet-HPNA bridges. With this, you only need 1 pair of bridges, instead of 2 or more switches, and one long Cat1 cable which is way should be cheaper than cat3 cables.
Physical limit per HPNA device is 1000 ft/304.8m. The only drawback is: HPNA(v2.0) runs at 10Mbps only.

before came from taiwan. The items we used were ethernet to phone line
converters (RJ-11 to RJ-45) appliance and not OS dependent
