Beware, never call the port with the SCSI icon "serial port". The plugs might be compatible, but the electrical connection is quite different. That is what comrade CJ_Miller explained. Please go and find (or make) a modem cable that sports a mini 8 pin connector on the Mac's end (like the Mac printer or LocalTalk cable) and the appropriate connector to fit the modem on the modem's end. In fact the modem cable has to be connected to either the printer port or the modem port of your Mac. Similar cables might be available with different wiring, so look closely to what you dig up. Most likely you will just need the appropriate cable and some software, not another modem.
