>> YES, no telephone company connection is needed. Just a `pedistal
cord".
What's a pedistal cord? Google shows nothing.
Since his question was:
>>I'd like to know if it's possible to use a regular phone cord
Are you really saying 'no', but no telephone connection is needed? Or are
you saying a conventional cord will work?

YES, no telephone company connection is needed. Just a `pedistal cord".
Get a copy of the command codes for the two modems, the standard is the
AT codes created by Hayes. The "US (or 3Com) Sportster" uses a modified
version of the command set.
You must set ONE for answer mode (ats0=1) and put both on line without
receiving a ring tone to get them "on line". ???ato???
Once connected together you can up and dn load stuff.
