56k MODEM-TO-MODEM BACK-TO-BACK

am trying to connect two computers back to back and did follow instructions on this page http://www.jagshouse.com/modem.html I want to share internet using a RAS server over a distance of 300 metres on a phone wire which i have supplied voltage like instructed on the page above, both machines are winxp, keep on getting error that the "remote machine did not respond/reply" when I enter ATA on the server, am getting "no carrier" error. These modems are not communicating, just what is the right and cheapest way of achieving this. am using two US ROBOTICS 56K 1806

 

It may be possible that you don't really need to supply any voltage to the wire, if your modems support the leased line 2-wire mode. In case, it's just a matter of a couple of AT commands (like AT&L1) to set up them.

Check your modem docs, or do some Googling about it.

Bye!

 

Thanks For Your Fast Reply, I Just Found Out My Modem Can't Support Lease Line, I Won't Mind Buying Other Types, Are There Any Other You Could Be Knowing Of, But Just Want The Normal Cheap 56k Analogue Internal Pci Modems, Please.

 

Sorry, I don't know for sure of a recent/cheap model that support that operation mode. But I remeber for sure that the external US Robotics Courirer V.Anything does support it; it was an hi-end modem, but now you can find one on eBay for less than 40$.

Hope this help,
Bye!

 

thanks alot for your reply, but can't get to ebays for such a small thing for am in Kenya (Africa), here I can get a "3 COM US ROBOTICS external fax modem", is this alright?

 

Sorry, but I don't think that will support the leased line mode; but I may be wrong.

Bye!
