Yes. The external serial modem will hook up to one of the existing
serial ports on the computer. There should already be com ports and
interrupts set aside for this under Linux, so all you have to do is
tell whatever application you want that com1 is a modem. That has no
effect on com3, com4 or any other com port that has been created via
software drivers for a winmodem.
Thanks. Is the com port a nine pinned male connection? I can't
remember from last computer with external modem. Am going to try
configure existing modem first though.
Thanks

Yes, it is the 9 pin male connection on the computer. If it is a
desktop, you probably have 2 of them. On older computers, you may have 1
db9 male and 1 db25 male for serial ports. The modem probably has a db25
female connector on it.
