Been done. Guess I should blow (shovel?) the dust off
my 1,200 BPS packet radio modem and fire up my 25 watt
2 meter transceiver ... those were the days... Still
have my licence (VE3ZAA). 

I remember talking to one Toronto area amateur radio
operator who via packet radio was getting 25 second
ping times into the Toronto Free-Net (ok, so his
connection was going via a router in New Zealand, but
...).
