I know that many of the CPQ Presario XMAS products have this phone network technology, maybe all of them. I think that the Presarios are also all now capable of supporting Ethernet out of the box, which means that they really could be used as office machines. I believe that CPQ is the clear leader in home networking, and I think they have also done work with service providers and the Telcos to allow all of these networked machines to access the internet via a single connection on one of the machines. That will be a big draw for any family where the adults and kids want to have net access at the same time. The COMDEX demos looked pretty compelling - almost like a big-time network with a proxy server, except no wiring costs, and almost no system costs to set it up.
