I once wrote a turbopascal program that used the parallel port and it's
control lines to transmit and receive a 128 bit synchronously 300 baud
signal to a care phone (not a car phone, it was a home alarm for elderly
people). So the parallel port can be used as a modem.

Even I can get
a modem or a printer working on a parallel or serial port.
Even I can get hardware and software to work on parallel or serial ports.
(OK, I don't HAVE any parallel port modems. Wish I did.)_
Rememebr that the
original PC parallel port was officially output-only,
whcih imples it's not a MODEM, but a MO :-)
