Er, I may be mistaken, but I doubt that approach would work. The modems
are probably expecting certain things on the connected phone line, such
as a dial tone and a call-in-progress ringing signal. Those things would
be absent without hooking the modems up to a central phone switching
system, wouldn't they?
