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

I'm going to be digging around to find a Mac-compatible modem. I know a couple people that are sitting on a surplus of computer parts who might have a modem that would work.

DO NOT PLUG IN NON-SCSI DEVICES INTO YOUR SCSI PORT.
Doing so can be FATAL to your macintosh. It is not a serial or parallel port, although they share the same connection. It could ruin the SCSI controller, which means no more hard disk bus. :O

(I was just a but worried, people understated what can happen.)

Noted. I think I'll ask anyone here before I even consider connecting anything to said port.
