Ok gurus.  I have a question.  I have two computers at home. Both have internal
modems.  I currently have the line go from the phonme jack on the wall tothe
modem jack on computer 1, out the phone jack on computer 1 to the modem jack on
computer 2, and out the phone jack on computer 2 to a phone.  All works well. 
Compuiter 1 has priority on the phone.  When C1 isn't on the phone, C2 can use
it.  Third in lin is the phone proper (which is just as well 'cause the dialer
on the phone doesn't work, anyway).

Here is the question:
How can I make computer 1 and computer 2 talk to each other via modem?  I have
tried running the phone line from modem to modem, but they only whistle at each
other, and never answer.  I have tried all the ideas I could come up with (ATA
and ATO, ATA and ATA, etc), but I am stumped.

HELP!!

Thanks a lot.

Kurt
