   Don't be aggressive if you don't know what you're talking about.  
First off, the TI-8x is NOT a modem itself.  It doesn't have a 
modulator built in to convert the digital signal to analog.  The 
external modem makes a lot more sense.  All you really need is 
Transmit/Receive/Ground, which you have.  You don't really need 
DTR/CD/Ring.  You could plug your modem into your car if you really 
wanted to go mobile with it.
