Turn them down to 1 Kbps speed an they'll. work. That's about one
thousandth the speed of DSL.

The point I'm trying to make is you need to provide more information.

Are the two locations at the same elevation?
How high a tower can you put at both ends, or at least one end?
Any trees or hills in the way?
What bandwidth (speed) are you expecting.
What reliability do you want?

Just out of curiosity (and to be my usual annoying self), he didn't give
details, this is a wireless group, how do you know the OP doesn't want two
tin cans and a string? Strings are wireless... why complicate things with
electronics? :)

You're right. Maybe he could implement an RFC1149 network.

Just out of, yet more, curiosity...
What is the practical limit of that mechanical "push me, pull you"
technology?
Some nutter must have tried for a record :-)

Actually "sound Tubes" have been around for many years, Longest I see at
this site (taxi queue at melbourne airport) are 13.6 Kilometers...... That's
a whole bunch more than 2!, and it's definately wireless! :)

If you are thinking of other types of wireless transmissions (instead of
just voice), the current record for wireless transmission (actually over
radio, and only one direction, but stars don't have electronics, in this
case a quasar), is over 1000 light years! :)
