  1. No.  Not with that modem.  If the PC's are close to one another, you can use a variety of other methods... Firewire, USB, Null Modem serial cable.

    USB:  http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/2... or http://www.ehow.com/how_2258736_connect-... or http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Compu...

    Firewire: http://www.weethet.nl/english/network_fi... or http://lifehacker.com/software/networkin...

    Null modem: http://www.weeno.com/art/0599/66.html or http://www.ehow.com/how_2078855_connect-...

    Of the 3, Firewire is the easiest and fastest (assuming both PC's have Firewire (aka IEEE 1394 or iLink).


  2. What kind of modem is it?
