The title expresses the entire insane idea.

I want to connect two computers, both having Linux but not having the processor power to bother dropping in an ethernet card, together by their dial-up modems. No dial-up internet, just a network. The one and ONLY how-to I could find was on Wikibooks, and was for Windows and Hyperterminal

Yes, I know it probably isn't worth my time, and yes...come to think of it...it would probably be easier to connect via serial ports, but where's the fun in that?

So, if anyone could show me to either a how-to or the looney bin, that would be great.

X_X It sounds like a problem from 80's
but I actually never tried that.

You will need some hardware.

Connecting two computers using their modems, without a telephone line

Whoa. Electronic wiring. I don't think my skills are up to that, unfortunately, although if I find that I have the parts in some of my nonfunction electronics, I might try to put something together.

Thanks for your help, everybody. I think between rcgreen's innovative suggestion, and Lostfarmer's pointing me in the right direction, I'll be able to piece this together.
