Directly .. means without a telephone exchange or anything in betweeen ? ...
I'd suppose I won;t work .. cuz there would be no dialtone. A simple trick
is to connect pin 2on serialA to pin3 on SerialB and pin3 of serialB to pin2
of SerialA.
This constitutes the Rx/Tx pair ... Think null modem.... ping 4 and 6 can be
connected in the same way... They are RTS/CTS.
Now if u type atd on comp1... comp2 would echo atd.
I've never used much linux.. so I suppose you'd so something like this:
(prolly folly .. but then)
pppd /dev/cua[1-4] on mach1 and then run to mach2 and type pppd
/dev/cua[1-4]

minicom ? Ahhh.... use minicom to establish whatever u like then
ctl A Q (yes) enter
pppd /dev/cua[1-4]
