Yes, to both questions.  The DECserver 200 manual gives some pretty decent
examples of things you may want to do.  I set up a modem according to
their instructions and, a few minor details aside (like the fallback speed
not working 100%), it worked.

From your point of view, my modem is equivalent to your printer or terminal.
Once I had set up the modem port as a service, it was only necessary to
log in to the server on a nother terminal (in your case, from your PC),
and then "CONNECT MODEM".  My terminal would hten be talking to the modem,
and your PC would be talking to the printer.  Your PC would have to be able
to generate a BREAK signal to get back to the server prompt in order to
disconnect.

Try to get a copy of the DS200 User's Guide (I think that's the name).  It's
good reading, if you care to.
