Powerline networking
An alternative way to hook up an Audrey

I have a wireless network at home, but the Audrey is resisting efforts to be connected to one of those, and I have no easy clean way to run cat5 into the kitchen from my main router upstairs. That would leave phoneline networking, but there are no handy phone jacks anywhere near.

New (really old and rehashed) tech to the rescue:

Got two of these for under $80 each, they require minimal configuration, and you literally just plug them in and go play. I'm pushing at least 4 MB/s over 20+ year old wiring, which surpasses my cable modem connection anyway. Best thing since cheap wireless kits. Highly recommended and very practical - any power outlet can become an ethernet jack!
