FYI. HPNA (Home Phone Networking) uses RJ-11, aka telco wires to do around 10mbps. I'd say this technology rocks, especially for buildings already wired to do normal POTS lines - you can now do long distance data networking. However if you do searches in google, the lan adapters for this is most often labeled obsolete :( And if they do have models available, there is very little linux open sourced driver support :( :(
