There is no phone involved (hence no phone number).  You 
are connecting one modem directly to the other.  This is 
easily done by using a standard phone line muliplexer 
(you've probably already got one to let your modem and 
phone share the same line).  Simply disconnect the multi-
plexer from the phone line and plug in both modems.

I seem to recall that when I did this (several years ago) 
one of the modems refused to do anything until it got a 
dial tone.  So I briefly plugged the multiplexer into the
phone jack to get that modem started.  This is all a vague
memory, so no guarantees.

Cheers,
