Question about long haul networking

[Steve]

We have two Vaxes in the neighborhood that will eventually be running
4.2 BSD.  We would like to have them both on an ethernet together, but
the Vaxes are separated by about a mile (as the crow flies).  Because of
funky red-tape sorts of things, we probably wouldn't be able to move them
into the same building, so the question arises:  is there a reasonable
not-so-local-as-ethernet network available that we can use to tie these
two machines together, and take advantage of the 4.2 networking stuff?
The fundamental constraint is cost, although ease of installation (hardware
and software hacking both) probably is a factor also.

I will summarize...
