RS-232 port with modem?

I have an old PC compatible computer and I also have a 14.4 Data/Fax
modem that uses the RS-232 port with the cable. My question is: how
can I get the two of them to work together. Can I use just a simple
term program to log onto a Unix host? How do I tell the computer that
I want it to check for the modem/phone line via the RS-232 port. My
computer also has a 2400 baud modem that isn't in use.

Thanks for any help!
