Does this actually work? I was skeptical but decided to try it with a Windows 95 laptop and Ubuntu server. I got to the "Set them both up to use your modems" step, which doesn't to work, but for HyperTerminal (or any telecom communications program) to use your modem, it has to have a dial tone... Maybe I'm missing something... --Iamunknown 18:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

This absolutely positively will not work.

[edit] Something Wrong?

I got the right sound coming from the modem but they didn't seem to talk to each other. They timed out with "NO CARRIER" message.

[edit] Confirmed

It works! With Windows Vista to Windows '98, two 56k dial-up PC card and PCI card modems. But the rate had to be set really low, 40 bytes per second, though it will probably work much better repeatedly tried and reconfigured. Clark89 (talk) 05:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
