ethernet over a single pair of wires?

I'm looking at an application where there is only one avaialble pair of
wires through an interface. The wires are in a CAT-5 bundle but only 1 of
the twisted pair is avaiable. The length is only about 200 ft.
The desired connetion is ethernet with a laptop on one end and a a piece of
ethernet industrial equipment (commanding and data monitoring) on the other.
Since it is only a single pair that would ofcourse mandate half duplex
operation. 10Mbits would be plenty fast.
Wifi is not possible for this application.
My question is can a standard laptop with a RJ-45 type ethernet connector be
setup to use only a single pair if wires in half dulex mode? Google turned
up nothing for me.
Anyone done this before?
