If the sockets are both RJ11 I assume that both expect to be connected to a phone line and "hear" a dial tone when they connect to the "line".
You don't say what country you are in but modems can have variable standards. You need to know that they are both the same.
Can you connect both devices to real phone lines or on extensions of a PBX that uses POTS phones? Then dial the other number or extension number. With appropriate AT commands you can set one to auto-answer and the other to dial the number (or extension number) of the other.
How much data do you want to transfer? Too much to make a public network phone call to do it?

NAME
phones - File containing the remote host phone number database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/phones
The /etc/phones file contains the system-wide private phone numbers for the tip(1) program.
DESCRIPTION
This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain privileged information. The format of the file is a series of lines of the form: sys-
temname phone-number
where systemname is defined in the /etc/remote file and phone-number is the system phone number terminated only by a comma or by the end of
the line. Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than one line in the file contains the same system name, tip will
attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the entry in /etc/phones for the system, zeus: zeus 9=555-9898
In this example, the = sign (or an asterisk) forces the autocall units to pause and wait for a second dial tone, when going through an
exchange. The = is required by the DF02-AC (an asterisk would be required by the BIZCOMP 1030).
