I used to do the remote end of two-ways for the CBC, BBC and NPR. 
This was before the Internets, so I would typically send the tape to 
the producer via overnight express. For NPR feeds, I would send the 
audio through a satellite uplink.

I think the usual approach would be to copy each end of the 
conversation on a separate track of the two-channel production tape, 
so overlapping speech would not be a problem in small doses.
