Hi, I did a project once using a thing called a mains modem. The company I was working for was looking for a cheap way of networking some PCs together so with one of the engineers I got to write some rs232 comms. stuff in assembler and Modula-2 and run around the site with the engineer pushing a trolley with a PC on, plugging the thing into the mains and sending test messages to the base PC to see how far away we could get a signal. Fun project, crap product.
