I didn't see any mention of Quality of Service (QoS). This could be an
issue regardless of which route you choose. Make sure that routers you
choose support this otherwise you could be on a call, start a big download
and lose your call because the download steals all the bandwidth.

QoS reserves some bandwidth specifically for your phone, which is what you
require.

I doubt it's that easy. The electricity meters of both properties will
block the HomePlug signals, and the HomePlug network uses 56-bit DES
encryption.

Surely clamping a *big* chunk of ferrite round the incoming mains cable
might help. Small ones are commonly available.

newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

Unlikely, unless you're sharing a meter, don't have any circuit
breakers in the way, are on the same phase etc etc.

same points about security though.
