Yes, an internal modem would make it. Otherwise, for $40 or less, you can 
buy a little additional card that would give you a 16550AFN UART (in fact 
two serial ports) plus an additional parallel port. I bought one from IO 
Systems (or a name like that) and I'm aware of two other brands I saw 
where I bought my extension port (but they were more expensive.) 
Installing them was very straight forward.
