Hello :),
From an earlie topic I got a reply that i just might be able to connect two computers (both have modems) via a single phoneline and modem cable. Also the phonline is split, with a jack upstairs and one downstairs, the one ownstairs is a multiple jack which also has the phone attached.
Could someone explain how I ould go about this. Would I use telex or a similar program? Also please don't give negative feedback it'd worth a try :). Also if I got this working would I b able to play LAN games?
