I need to pass some simple data securely between two modems, one of
which dials up the other. What kind of solutions are there out there
for this simple task? Right now, I'm writing my own code to talk
directly to the modems, encrypt the data packets, etc, but it seems
there must be a better way.

I should say that I'm trying to pass encrypted data from and to a
custom app (same on both ends) via a modem.

ISTM that what you're doing is as simple as it gets! Or are you
asking for a solution that e.g. implements a HLL "one-liner" at
each end? For that you'd need to supply a bit more info on the
OS you're using and maybe the language(s) you're using for the
programming.

On which operating system? On a *NIX system, one would use XMODEM or
ZMODEM and encrypt/decrypt before and after the transmission.
Something like gpg -c | sx on one of the sides, and rx | gpg on the
other side, for example.
