The  Apple //c modem port (port 2)  is a configurable serial port that
can be set for baud rates between 50 and 19200, for 5 to 8 data bits,
for 1 or 2 stop bits,  and for parity none, odd,  even,  MARK, or SPACE
according  to chapter 8 of my _Apple //c Technical Reference Manual_
(Addison-Wesley, MA, 1985). Both full and half duplex are available.
I usually use my //c with an Apple Modem 300/1200, but have used it
with an Avatex 2400. Both Apple Access and Softerm II software have
worked.

One does need an appropriate cable to go from the //c modem port to
the jack on the mf one's choice. Cables for modems with regular

serial jacks are sold. That is porbably  what you want (a //c to
serial input modem cable [the ones for Apple modems are also serial
input, of course, but the connectors are non-standard].
