Unlike RS232 the connection to a modem is a wire loop there
is no separate rx and tx line and a zero volt (ground plane)
connection is not required.
A crossover is not needed but if one is present it will not
make any difference as long as the loop is intact. Telephone
instruments usually receive their power from a (voltage
limited) constant current source at the telephone exchange;
but as modems do not depend on the line for power, the lack
of a DC power source should not present a problem.
