Convert modem to serial port?

[Gary L. Grebus]

Here's one for the hardware hackers...how hard would it be turn the 
unix-pc 1200 baud modem into a serial port?  Is there a separate serial
chip that could be hooked to the outside world, or is everything done by the
modem chip?  Maybe the hard part of this would be kludging a the device
driver to run it.

A 1200 baud modem is getting less useful all the time.
