Sure - I use these:

Work great on my 768K internet connection (100% speed - longer ping time) and have even streamed DVD's from a slow machine BUT:

1. I have a lot of filters.
2. I have a passive coupler.
3. Trying to figure out why I can't pick on C1 on my CM11A today (doesn't REALLY seem related).

It is an excellent price.  For some reason that neither I nor the store personnel at Best Buy could figure out, the price was reduced from $149.00 to $29.95 so I bought two of the three units they had, and the store clerk bought the last one.  If anyone is interested, you should get over to your local BB and scarf them up; really a great deal!

So ethernet over power lines and X10 don't interfere with each other?

And does ethernet over power lines have the same signal-bridging problem that X10 does? I'm using an active coupler-repeater to get X10 across my power phases. I wonder what effect that would have on EOPL? Anyone out there have this configuration?
