I used a Minolta CD-10 with my 2300. It worked great as a card reader. 
I also experimented with PCMCIA card modems, but none were recognized. 
I only tried a couple brands, Global Village was one but I don't 
remember the others. I won't guarantee that you can't do it, but I 
would advise against spending much money on this exercise based on my 
lack of success.

One other note, in case it makes a difference to someone: Minolta's 
drivers for the CD-10 did not work with OS 9. Someone wrote a patch to 
make it work with 9.0, but the patch didn't work with anything newer 
than 9.0.
