Well, this is pretty easy.  Just buy any 2400 baud modem you want and 
plug it in.  The Mod. 4 has a standard rs232 serial port.  

As far as software, there is a full featured terminal program around
called FastTerm.  Its shareware and is available on several bulletin
boards (I don't have any phone numbers handy) and on Compuserve.  
It has a vt100 mode.
