No, printer and modem cables are wired differently. Also there's two
different modem cables. The non-hardware handshaking one will only go
up to 9600 baud. For faster speeds you need a hardware handshaking
cable. The FAQ has the pinout of the hardware handshaking cable. You
should still be able to pick one up from a Mac store.
