    The TCM3105 has a variety of modes, selected by various connections of 3 pins
    (TXR1, TXR2 and TRS - sorry, I don't have the data handy to say how).
    Standard 200Hz shift modes like V.21 and Bell 103 are available.

    It would be easier to make the 3105 work...

    Another method would be to use one of the converters that SSTV uses -
    the type that filters a square wave from the ttyS and squares up
    the received signal back to it.
    The computer does the FM part.
    I don't know if anyone has ever written a packet driver for that,
    but a good place to look would be in SSTV software.
