I believe that the modems that John is talking about are simply origionate-
only modems which pick up the phone and turn on their carrier when the
voice - data switch is flicked to data.  If there is no answer switch, then
no, you can't connect the modems, unless of course you open up one of them
and muck around with the frequencies.  (it's loads of fun. :} )
