We have an engineer here in Santa Barbara with a perverted sense of humor;
he took two Kenwood SlowScan TV units (they transfer pictures at audio

connected them to each other via two tin cans and a string. The pictures
came through just fine :).

Don't laugh. I knew a guy in college who I later ran into
in grad school. He was doing some protocol R&D with funding
from IBM. In order to demonstrate how robust the protocols
were, he set up tin cans and string as the transmission medium.
