There are various external TAs that you can connect to your serial port
of choice and that look and feel like a modem, including the venerable
AT command interface. E.g. USRobotics Courier I-modem, ZyXEL Elite
2864I, some ELSA and Elink devices, etc.

Some of these TAs also include a full-featured V.34 and Fax modem,
others only offer ISDN protocols, typically X.75, V.120, V.110, and
async PPP to sync PPP/RFC1618 conversion.
