Yes. I too know how to wire up a null modem cable, but that is *not*
what the original poster asked for.  He didn't say *why* he wanted
to connect two modems together, but there *are* several perfectly
normal circumstances under which people do such things -- I do this
myself on many occasions.  It would be much more polite if you did not
immediately jump to the conclusion that everyone else is a fool.  It
doesn't always win you friends.

Can we get back to technical discussions please ?  No follouwps welcome.
