Such a Telco circuit is called a 56k dryline or "dry line." Google is
your friend and you can search using "56k dryline."

You need a modem on both ends that does not use a dial-up protocol
such as:

Basically, you configure two computers for a PPP link.

If you have never configured any computers for PPP, you will need to
do some research. Basically, you end up with a private TCP/IP network
in which you can use any IP addresses you wish. do NOT route this
onto the Internet or you will not have enough bandwidth available for
your programing!

If you use Linux, I can tell you how to set up a PPP link (it's easy). Windows
is a bit different and I don't remember how.
