u need lan connection
from modem it is not possible
buy two lan cards
it'll cost u just rs. 250/- per card
i.e. Rs. 500 = cost of 1 modem

n also u need one Lan Connecting Wire

how about using hyperterminal to dial-out from one pc and so connect the 2 pc's ....but the speed will like dialup connection ...and also its like a sendfile utilty + chat ..thats it.Heavy phone bill by the way...the one dialing out has to pay.
