GreenEel... you don't mention, but I'm assuming you mean a home network. &nbsp;If so, I can say it *is* possible with a null modem, but I don't believe it is possible with a standard modem... unless, of course, you have multiple phone lines in the house &amp;&nbsp;each system is connected to different lines.<br />
<br />
Another option here is to connect via a serial, parallel or IR port, rather than the modem. &nbsp;Most versions of windows allow for the parallel port connection with only minor software tweaking &amp;&nbsp;the appropriate cable.<br />
<br />
As for &quot;as fast as NIC cards?&quot; &nbsp;I have a 100mbps NIC in my system... best thing I've seen since sliced bread. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
hope this helps<br />

If you are into experiments, I suppose you could tweak the win9X &quot;Direct Cable Connect&quot; to use modems instead of a null modem cable. This assumes good knowldge of how modems work and, probably, a lot of patience. I think it would work though... It all depends on what you really want to achieve, what distances are involved etc, but I think there may be easier ways if the machines are close to each other.<br />

Is it possible to do networking using a modem ? if so could u give me details please.<br />

Is this as fast as NIC cards..?<br />

Modem networking - Peer to Per

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
