   Such things existed, but I wouldn't know where to tell you to look nowadays
for a protocol-supporting modem program.  I have an alternative
suggestion,though.

  There were/are programs that will translate between Apple CP/M, p-System,
Dos 3.3, and ProDos. One of them, called "Chameleon" is shareware. The other
is Universal File Translator, from I-forget-which-major-software-house.

  Either of these can translate your (otherwise untouched) wordstar files into
text files that your ProDos or Dos 3.3 term program can then transmit up to
your PC.
