You'll have to remove the internal modem on the 6500 as it disables the modem port when installed in the Comm. slot. You *could* hook the modem to the printer port but that would make it impossible to get your SW 2400 working. The situation with that printer is not hopeless. The linuxprinting.org site says that it "mostly" works when connected to the serial port (which is more than I can say for my Epson 740 via the serial port, had to get a usb card, (it has both usb and Mac serial, as well as parallel interfaces)).
