Hi,
Here is my problem. I have four computers with modems. I want pc11 to communicate with pc12 and pc21 - with pc22. The trick is to make all this to work with 1 phone line. I am attaching a simple graphic of what I want.
Best regards!

There's a way to connect two modems directly to each other. Can't remember how to do it though, I'll see if I can dig that up. You can forget about hooking up 4 though, that just isn't going to work. You'll need a PBX and even then you won't be able to hook all of them up simultaneously.
Modems/serial lines create point to point connections. What you want is more or less a shared/bus like connection a la ethernet.
If this can help - I need modem11 to communicate only with modem12 and modem21 only to communicate with modem22.
Then why use modems? Just use 2 null modem cables.
I am open to suggestion. What is the trick with these null modems. I want to say that it must be by phone line, because the distance is several kMs.
What sort of modems are they.............56.6 dial-up or broadband (DSL/ADSL)?
Null modem cables are for local connections over short distances, so they won't work for you IMO.
Ah.. Is there a "real" telephone network between the modems?
They are dial up modems.
SirDice what do you mean "real" telephone network? The cable is from the telecommunication company.
Hmmm, I suspect that they will be WinModems as well, so you won't find a router that will play nice with them.
I guess that leaves you with something like ICS:

How ICS can help me? Actually I want to connect modem11 and modem12 via RAdmin (or something similar) and modem21 and modem22 in such way.
