Yes, all you need is an RS-232 interface.  Once such critter is the
Aprotek Modem Interface, available for $27.95 from Software Support
International.

Another nifty Aprotek device is the Convert-a-Com, which does the
opposite, turning an RS-232 interface into a Commodore User Port.  Why?
So you can take your 2400 Aprotek modem with you when you upgrade to
another type of computer.  Only $29.95!
