Not even sure an amp would be needed. For short lengths, it may well 
suffice to do:


   BBC One                 BBC Two   ;-)

   Mic ------------------> Ear

   Ear <------------------ Mic

The problem I can foresee is "Block?" and such, how would you get the 
transmitting Beeb to send a chunk again? This is why serial ports are 
used for linking machines. Less smarts (no built in file handling) but 
more control over what happens "on the wire", plus the availability of 
handshaking signals.


Best wishes,

Rick.
