I believe there is an X-10 system that will handle that need. That way
you use one master and the others control the master through the existing
wiring, no need for any travelers.

Try www.smarthome.com

In the X10 system, one of the devices (called "master") replaces one
of the switches. It is wired as a single switch (using one of the
traveler wires). The module has an additional (red) wire which is
connected using the other traveler to a button at the other end.
