Yes, I finished reading this in PPP-HOWTO. :). So, I will set that
each computer can dial for the other.

Ok. If it's ISDN I already know what to in Linux:
compile PPP and ISDN support in the two machines kernel.
And what about the hardware?
How to connect the two computers and the line between them. Do I need a
modem at each computer like this:
computer1 <-> modem <-> phone line <-> modem <-> computer2
Or only NICs?
computer1 <-> ethernet card <-> phone line <-> ethernet card <->
computer2
Thanks, PH
