Have you tried this? I did (with PCs) years ago, didn't work. Later, I came across a diagram for a modem-modem connector with a DC source patched in to supply the line voltage that would make it work (not needing it then, I didn't try it.) Or is there some other way to trick them into thinking they're connected to a phone line? I can send the details of the circuit to anyone interested (the original site is long gone), but on the whole ethernet seems the better bet. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
