If you just want to connect the tangents, you could look at the
belt/chain/pulley problem and use the minor radii of the two tori to solve for
the linear portion of the belt.  That would give you the _exact_ "2" tangent
points of the tori and the cone.

I posted ALL the math in the binary images section not too long ago.

Hope that helps.
