I have two networks using two identical Telkom Marconi Premium Combo routers. Only one of the networks has an ADSL connection. I want to connect the two networks by Wifi. It is not possible to run cables between the two routers. Is it possible to bridge the two routers using WIfi to enable the ADSL line to be shared?

provided the ADSL side makes the dial up. AFAIK, you can not pppoe over wifi

I am thinking aloud here: 
Not sure if the two modems will talk to each other. That would mean they are in adhoc mode?
Are they not APs? If so, no dice. You could set up a cheap PC router with a WIFI card at the "remote" site tho - that may work.

Dunno about Teklom's routers, but I run my own pppoe connection over wifi to a dude's ADSL line in the street next to mine. We use Linksys WRT54GL routers.

PPPoE? Or a VPN and a PPPoE from his wrt54gl? Using linksys default firmware? Or are you using openwrt / ddwrt or Freifunk?
Gotta be this one...

I loaded special firmware, yes. I don't know what version though but I can find out if you really want to know.
