Null-Modem will be the fastest way you can connect. It's only limited to the 
fastest speed the cable will handle. In some cases (if it's shielded right) it should 
handle up to about 115k baud. They are also very cheap ($8-10) to buy or build.

You can't connect modems direct without a phone line because you have no 
voltage from the phone company to carry the signal. If you were talking about over 
the phone, then it'll work fine.

Good Luck, and happy fragging!!!
