No it doesnt,
  if you setup ppp on your linux box, then you can configure linux to answer
the modem and setup a ppp connection with whoever dials in.

  Then you would be able to use telnet, and ftp to transfer files.

  Alternatively you could configure agetty or uugetty or whatever to listen
on that serial port. Using that method you have a similar situation to a BBS,
you would get a login prompt, and on top of that you could upload and download
files.

  What I have told you is not very detailed and you will have to go to those
packages and suss it out.
