While this works, in most cases you can achieve faster speeds and better
handshaking by connecting the two system's serial ports with a null-modem
cable.  Some of the packages like LapLink use the parallel port, it's even
faster. 

There are reasons for doing what you want, sometimes the modems are
internal models, or the software only works with modems, or the system are
too far away to use a null-modem cable - just consider the possibility if
it would work.
