->     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.

If I understand you, you aren't connecting dte devices, you are connecting
telephone devices, in which something must come up with the operating voltage
and the ringing voltage.   Might I suggest a small used PBX?

Or is there something that simulates this?
