Simple encode a one as one ful cycle of 4800hz and a zero as a half cycle
of 2400hz (FM encoding). Recieving that is simple wait for the bit to
change and then wait to see if there is a change at one half (or window
from 1/3 to 2/3) and then decide if that was a one or zero. since there
is a once per bit change (minimum) you can sync the machines by sending
a header of say 16 zeros.

The casette tape soctware does exactly that but at a slower rate as the
recorders are not so good as direct wires.
