DSL point to point connection
Is it possible to connect 2 PCs each at a diferent location and their own network? Can I setup 2 DSL modems to call each other and stay connected so these 2 PC's can transfer files back and forth without human intervention? What do I tell the phone company to ensure these 2 DSL numbers can "call" each other. HOw is it similiar to ISDN as far as the "phone numbers" they use?
DSL is very similar to a channelized, fractional T1.. ISDN BRI uses SPIDs for 'telephoning' a ISDN Telco switch to connect a line and allow data transfer. Here are two very good explanations on ISDN and DSL..

Do both locations HAVE to be off the same CO? Couldn't each CO for each location provide a link?

ISDN is essentially digital phone traffic. You can call a specfici number, and place a voice or data call.
DSL is a data stream to the CO. They terminate it and pass the traffic to their network, and eventually the internet. You could put a VPN between the two PC's and send the traffic between the two, but that would be the only secure way to do it via DSL.
