Modem on Parallel port??

I'm a newbie in BSD world, and I have a question: Is there any way to connect a modem (14.4 Kbps) or a mouse to a parallel port? I want to connect a WYSE terminal to my computer, but I need a free serial port. My both serial ports are occupied (mouse and modem). Is there any way around this, except buying a new controler with more than 2 serial ports?
