I hope I understand you here. I want to use the modem connected to my 
linux machine, from a different windows machine (which has no modem).
You are saying that is not possible?

My thinking was, the modem presents a serial interface, just like a 
keyboard or a mouse. So probably it shouldn't be too difficult to 
realize a connection (or is it?).

Does anyone know if this has ever been tried?

Guus.
