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,
Steven
