Hello Gordon,

There is an application called HomePNA that enables you to setup a network over the existing phone wires. I'm not really big fan of the HomePNA networks because of low cost/speed values and such, so I would suggest that you look for more information at http://www.homepna.org/

Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
