Are you talking analog modems here (usually something like V.90 or V.92 mentioned somewhere on them), or broadband/ADSL type modems?
The two modems I have were supplied by the internet provider but each only has one ethernet and one USB socket.If you're talking about broadband modems, it won't work. The splitter in this case does more than a simple wiring job: it has components in it to filter out the phone signal from the modem signals. Once this is done once, it can't be repeated. The best option in this case is to put the modem where the line comes in and network the two computers (either with wires or wirelessley) togher: you'll need the appropriate type of modem to enable this.
I've merged the two threads. Please don't duplicate posts/threads covering the same basic issues.Yes - it's fixed by the standard and you won't get a longer cable.
By the way, see the response I posted in the other thread you had going with pretty much the same questions:
