I used an Exar 2211 for a FSK receiver up to 5 Kbaud. You can use a 2206 for a generator, or generate the FSK signal in software.The 2206 requires a 10 volt supply, which is inconvenient. It worked quite well, and as it was frequency shift, instead of phase shift, if the transceivers detuned slightly, there was no problem. If yopu have the bandwidth, you could run them up to 28k without much hassle.
