Hello,

     I have two modem's I want to connect directly.
     Can I just take the modular telephone cord out of the wall and directly
connect the modems or do I need special cable?
     I have heard I need "twisted pair" cable, but I thought that was just a
type of wire and may be a synonym for regular modular telephone cable.
     Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
