If one of the machines is running Linux, see modemu.
If Windows, see www.romeocomp.com.
Both of those, of course, assume that one end's computer *is* the
device you want to connect to the other end's {modem}. If you want a
clean patch through, it will be a little more complicated. How
complicated depends on which signals you need to emulate (passing
flowcontrol and modem control through such a link is murderous).
