If the switch is looking for serial, unmodulated data, then no, the modulated data from the modem (MOdulator, DEModulator) will not provide the appropriate signal. That being said, you 'may' be able to connect an auto-answer modem to the serial port of your switch and dial in to it from your portable's modem.
