Frequency hopping in the 900MHz range. I believe you can go modem-modem even through the repeater network. As long as the modem is set to auto-answer and you know the number, you can call each other. You have to use starmode if you want to handle multiple connections, but for single connections modem-modem is fine. Metricom also sells (sold?) gateway units that you could use to drop onto the POTS network.
