You're right, but what does that have to do with
an
RS-232 serial cable?

What did you hook your modem to the computer with? 

Phone cord with an RJ-ll connector.  Even back when I
did own a 300baud modem, installed in an Epson QX-10,
it was phone cable...not RS-232.

Newbie. :)

And yes, you ran an RS232 between it and your DTE/DCE (as appropriate):
