Ahh, no - on that note I meant 'mistrust' as in reliability. Running data over
power lines always seems like the sort of thing that'd work in the lab, but be
a little unreliable out in the real world with all sorts of 'noisy' devices
plugged into the system.
I have no idea if Tony has sensitive data to steal. Maybe he'd find hoardes of
HP schematic thieves dressed as power company workers camping outside his
front door :-)

Hmm, I've got a deep mistrust of any
'data over the mains' technology, but
might that be an option here? I assume *most* of your systems are physically
plugged into the mains anyway, so it'd meet the ideal requirement for no extra
cabling. Data rates presumably not lightning fast, of course...
I don't think security is of concern here unless you are extremely
paranoid or are transferring prohibited material (e.g. perhaps with your
collection, ASCII kiddy porn to the impact printer :=P).
