You can setup a Hayes compatible modem into a mode where you only need
Rx, Tx and ground. However you then have to check the status by querying the
modem using serial commands and then having to parse the results. If the
modem is connected, you then have to switch to command mode, check the status
and switch back to data mode to tx/rx data to/from the other modem. Much easier 
to have 
a full compliment of signals required by a typical modem in it's default 
configuration.
