I suspect that with the proper software (and maybe a special cable),

is a multi master bus with collision detection, so it "should" work.

pbLua supports communication over the RS485(?) port.  That's sensor port 4.

Using that port, you can connect several NXTs
together.  You just need a cable that connects to several ports.

Yes this works fine, just using a normal sensorcable !
Another simple out of the box solution is: first Master NXT connects to other
remote pbLUa consoles by bluetooth.... The master can send Lua commands directly
to remote NXT and is able to execute any code remotely... OK it's slow (9k6) but
it works.
Using RS-485 is more complex, beacuse you ahve to add NXT addresses for ech
device at the bus and you need to add a master slave communication protocol...
