Thank > you. I once wanted to do something similar and found that if I connected the two modems together with a RJ-11 type cord I could get them to talk to each other by placing each modem on it's own terminal program (and computer) and instructing one modem to "ATO" (Hayes for go online) and the other to "ATA" (Hayes for answer a call). The two modems will send their carrier and handshake sequence, connect, and you can send data between them. No need for a phone line simulator; just a phone cord.
