Oatley Electronics were selling these - or similar units - a while back
for about $70 each, from memory. I was toying with the idea of hanging a
fibre optic cable over the neighbour's fence. :)

I'd guess that you would run into similar propagation delay and collision
issues as you would with long wired cable, but if you run it through a
switch port (or dedicated cards at each end) then that should work...

Cheers.
