Crossover is normal for digital signal, but I'm not totally sure
if this apply also for modem cable, because modem is a digital-2-analog
converted, in crude words and ( we know) analog signals are
indifferent to crossover problematic. On the other hand, I do not
know if one specific pin is used fro handshaking and similar.
I connected the two modem as you explained, but I havn't got a
connection yet.
