Wow, never knew they made em that small.

Oops, wake up.
Yes, get a telco simulator (costly) and a stand alone modem
(cheap, esp. when used). The sim I found was a Viking at about
$100, useful for testing laptops with integrated modems, etc. etc.
Or get two phone lines and call yourself.
Terminal/w/Modem -> Telco(sim) -> Modem -> RS232 out.
