Bill,
No, DCE is Data Communications Equipment and that means Modem which does
connect to a phone line or other communications carrier medium.
DTE means Data Terminal Equipment and connects to a modem.
Those designations have been in place since 1960 or earlier.

I think the correct acronym expansion of DTE is "Data Carrier
Equipment". Remember, this whole area was designed by telephone
companies who thought they would be a part of every connection.
