Private lines are permanently connected phone lines used with modems.
Dialup is not needed. Usually the modem hold the handshake lines in the
proper states.

The RS–232 port can be connected to standard American dial–up modems
and some European modems. Other European standards specify that the
DTR signal will cause the modem to answer the phone whether it is
ringing or not, causing the phone to always be “busy”. Since the modem
port asserts DTR while waiting for a call, it cannot be used with such
modems.

The types of dial–up network modems that can be used are classified into
