I have a home HPNA network running on HE and it's just dandy. I
set it up after getting HE because it offered full support for it.
I searched the Microsoft hardware compatibility site before buying
the adaptors and came up with Netgear Phoneline 10X PCI adapters
for less than $25.00 apiece. They installed Plug and Play and I
didn't need any additional software. I plugged in the phone lines
and I had a 10 MBPS home network up and running in just a few
minutes time without a hitch. Now every phone jack in my house and
in my shack 60' away from the house is a network port - just
great!
