Hello! How are you connecting them together? You'd need two phones and and a phone-line simulator, or two phones and an ATA, see here for advice, https://gekk.info/articles/ata-config.html Finding them things is easy, oddly enough the one I used was from our free pile from a recent (not this year) swap meet. And the dinos are dancing in the light rain. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

I found a few other Reddit posts with details but don’t have them immediately on hand. Pretty much yes, you’ll need digital phone line / ISDN hardware.

Thanks!
I was reading this reddit thread earlier, and was having a little trouble following, so I wrote below to verify what I took away.
(Thanks again)

Hi folks!
I'm messing around with a bunch of modems at home, and would like to know what's required to set up one system to receive 56K calls from another system.
I'm able to get 33.6kbps bi-directionally (or 31.2K) with just a phone line between the two modems, and using ATX1D and ATA commands.
I think to get 56K I require some equipment to simulate a digital connection, and I'm also not sure if a 56K analog modem can even receive 56K calls. Is this true?
Modems I have on hand: - a USRobotics Courier I-Modem - 2 x USRobotics V.Everything, and a USRobotics 56K/X2 Sportster external modem
I am also unable to get the I-Modem to connect to any of the analog modems, and although it does have the protocols to support analog, it seems like it's expecting a BRI / ISDN connection to allow that connection. Is this true?
If the above are true - what's the minimum / cheapest solution for being able to at least establish a V.90 connection given the equipment I have already?
Thanks for your help! John
