[CentOS] is it possible to login to a switch via RS232 / serial port from the shell?

I'm sorry, but I don't see the relevance. The switch is connected via
serial cable to a CentOS 5.1 x64 server, and I need to connect to it
from CentOS, but can't. Please explain to me how it's not related to CentOS?
The fact that I mentioned Windows, is purely to indicate that the serial
port works, and it can be connected to via serial cable.
