I have broadband since two years ago, and now i have two modems that are not in use, one in my box (a Motorola SM56 PCI) and another in my laptop (a Conexant 56K ACLink). So i thinked "can i connect both machines with a simple phone cable?"
After googling a while, i found some answers: -Both modems must support "dumb mode" and "leased line". None of my both modems support that -A simple connection can be done by opening a terminal (Hyperterminal in this case), and type ATD on the host, and answer with ATA in the guest. No luck... i only hear some "digital noise", but i can't do nothing more.
Suggestions? Anyone had done this in the past?

I believe you need a telephone line simulator to supply a low level voltage and noise for the newer win modems to talk to each other. Similar to the dreamcast-PC modem situation. Here's a link with a diag to build your own line simulator, which may or may not work! www.jagshouse.com/modem.htmlThe Dreamcast-PC tut is located here. home.elp.rr.com/terlouw/Bugs.htm

you have to use a null modem cable to do that, because if you connect a regular phone line to both pcs, the send and recieve lines will be hitting eachother on both ends.
a null modem cable swaps the wires so that send is to the recieve and recieve is to the send.
