Hehehe, the duo internal ports are fun, aren't they? 

If the modem is on, only the modem jack will operate. (well, appletalk
might run, I have not checked.)

If the modem is off, and appletalk is on, only appletalk will operate.

If the modem is off, and appletalk is off, the printer/modem port will
work as a serial port. 

This precious info comes from two hours of wresteling with my 280c to
get my
digital camera to work outside of the dock :) . Enjoy!
