Pinout info is below:

Not sure if that will come out correctly (it's ASCII art, so probably not).
If not, have a look at http://www.digiserve.com/eescape/atari/FAQ_-_Jaguar and scroll down until you hit something looking more or less like that.
That's an ASCII image of the port, but it doesn't tell you what each line does. For that you need the following data:
Component Side (A)
Pin 1A = U15 GND
Pin 2A = SCK
Pin 3A = UW
Pin 4A = TxD
Pin 5A = RxD
Pin 6A = U15 GND
Solder side (B)
Pin 1B = Vcc (+5V)
Pin 2B = UART0
Pin 3B = UART1
Pin 4B = NC
Pin 5B = NC
Pin 6B = GND (connected through cable shield)
Hope that helps. If it doesn't, hard luck, I'm (more or less) as much in the dark as you. TxD = Transmit Data, and RxD = Receive Data, but I think you're more likely to be interested in the UART ports, for a modem.
Anyway, if you can connect the transmit and receive lines to a modem and have an external interface to boot up the modem (and probably sort out the data format too) there's no reason why this couldn't work. Although this would be a replacement for the JagLink, and wouldn't work with Ultra Vortek.
Hope that was more helpful than the answer by the one who professes to 'help' people :P
j/k, lol.
