The thing about that network is the cartridge's frequency response
is not specified with anyhing BUT that network connected, so I don't
know for sure that you could "get the response" for it.

But as a first approximation, I'd look for the spec of (or even
measure!) the DC resistance and inductance of the cartridge, and
assume the signal is a voltage source with those two things in series.
Then knowing the response is "flat" [neglecting the RIAA curve for the
moment] into the standard 47k/200pF load, you could calculate what it
would be into the soundcard impedance (which might be as low as 10k or
as high as 1 meg - look at the specs. If there's no spec for line
input impedance, go buy a better soundcard).

For a magnetic cartridge, the magnitude of the voltage source with
constant groove displacement is proportional to frequency. The load
capacitance resonates with the inductance to provide peaking at the high
end.
