IF, and it's a big IF, your two modems support a Leased Line
mode, it is fairly simple to connect them together.  You will
need a standard RJ-11 extension cord and a pair of cutters,
soldering iron etc.   

The problem is that the Xmit and Rcv leads are swapped in the
telco network......

Chop the extension cord in half, and then solder these pairs
together...

    Take the Red and Green Wires from one half and solder
    them to the Yellow and Black wires from the other half.  

    Red and Green form the "normal" Xmit pair, Yellow and Black
    the Receive pair....

    Plug it in, and have fun.

If the modems are dial-up, there is no real way to just hook
them together....

BTW, why not just create a null-modem cable for the two DTE's
and hook them together directly?
