[TriLUG] OT: Powerline networking recommendation

[Scott Lambdin via TriLUG]

It worked fine for me back in the day. (the 10Mbit day)  Can't recall the
brand.  They were blue.

Not sure if there is and easier way, but if you run an extension cord you
should get 220VAC between different legs and ~0VAC on the same leg.
