I have an 800xl that ocasionally I use a modem standard modem with.  If you
solder a few junpers on the motherboard, you can use the joystick port.
(get a joystick cable and cut it, and put the rs232 on the other end).
Anyway...  the problem with that method is that the joystick port is limited
to 300 baud.  There are some other cabeling methods that I never got around
to trying that will allow a faster baud rate.
