It seems that the answer to my question is Nate Hawthorn's "CapNet".

Thanks to Scott Lasey I now have a copy of Nate's article which describes how to make
a network for around $1 per node.  Actually the minDin8 plugs cost me $1.25 each but
the total cost of the components was still less than $2 per node.  Apparently this has
already been on the net but if anyone else missed it I can email it to you.
