Modem connection between two local PCs

Hello everybody,
I didn't know were to post this, so i posted here in hardware section.

I'm having some troubles while trying to interconnect two pc's via modem (soft fax modem, RJ-11 jack). One is a Handheld PC (HP Jornada 728) with a single fax modem slot, and the other computer is a PC with a two-slots fax modem (in/out).

I connect a phone cord to the HPC jack and the other end to the "in" jack of the PC's modem. My problem is that the connection requests me a PHONE NUMBER to dial, but, since it's a direct local connection between two computers, there's no phone number at all. I've tried everything, connecting to the "out" phone jack, connecting a phone line to the "in" jack and dialing its number from the HPC, dialing numbers such as "1", "123", hyperterminal, minicom, AT commands like "atd" and "ata" on the other end getting "NO CARRIER" as response after modem characteristic sounds, etc. And nothing seems to work.

Indeed, i read something about using a line simulator to get the phone cord a determinated voltage and amperage to one of the cables (the geen one) to fake a phone line. I constructed the simple device it displayed in the article, and couldn't get it working.

Could someone tell me or guide me on how to stablish a successful connection between this two computers via modem? Like how should i connect the modems and how to configure them.

The PC has both operating systems, Windows and Linux, i'd prefer the setup from the Linux environment, but if you could make it from Windows, excellent for me too.

I need to transfer data between the two hosts and is possible, share PC Internet connection with my HPC. The fact is that my HPC doesn't have other way to connect (no serial cable, no USB cable, no PCMCIA network cards, ...) So this is my last resort.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
