Marc,
I'm not the one who needed to transfer the files, but even if I was,
the method you described is expensive…and unreliable at best.
Normal phone lines (not just plugging an extension cord between 2
modems) are amplified so modems work fine with them, wires strung between 2
modems aren't amplified, so they just don't cut it very well.
I have tried your method in the past…anything longer than about 6
feet on the phone cable and it just had too many errors.
