Yes. So far, both computers have compatible modems. You will need terminal software for both computers (perhaps a hyperterm for WinXP, but it has been a while, so I canβt say for sure). Basically, you need one computer to have another computer send a line like "ATDxxxxxxx", where xxxxxxx is the phone number of the receiving computer. When the line starts ringing on the receiver, enter βATAβ on the receiving computer to tell the modem to respond. After the handshake, you should receive a "CONNECT" message. Keep in mind, it all depends on the individual characteristics of the modems and my memory, since it has been at least 8 years since I did any work with dialing in general. But that should give you the basic idea.
