The Telebits were awesome over impaired lines.  Their funky modulation scheme 
let them get through where nothing else would (like using barbed wire fences 
instead of phone wire).

I used them to link up the UNHCR in Northern Mozambique.  Only problems were 
when someone opened a gate in the fence to move cattle — no carried until they 
closed it again.
