Does this do what you want?
Bill <- data.frame(A= c(1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7),
B=c(5,5,6,7,7,7,8,9,10,11),
group=rep(1:2, each=5) )
with(Bill, plot(A,B, pch=group) )
mns <- with(Bill, tapply(B, group, mean))
tmp <- par('usr') # or range(Bill$A)
med <- with(Bill, mean( c(max(A[group==1]), min(A[group==2]) ) ) )
lines( c(tmp[1], med, tmp[2]), mns[ c(1,2,2) ], type='s' )
Hope this helps,
