BAWUG,

Some people in Bergen, Norway are betting on a different wireless
future and have made the first known implementation of the CPIP
protocol from RFC1149.  This Internet Request For Comments is titled
"A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers"
and was published on April 1, 1990.

Yes, this means sending IP packets with homing pigeons.  The
experiment was conducted by the Bergen Linux Users' Group in
cooperation with Vesta Brevduveforening on April 28, 2001.  Ping times
varied between 3200 and 6300 seconds (1 - 2 hours).

Here are the images:
