Running mgetty on the answering side will work with Centos running some dial-out
terminal application like kermit, minicom, or cu. But what you'll get is a
separate command line login, not a GUI desktop or copy of what is on the
console. If you want more than that, you might set up dial-in PPP so you can
treat the connection as a network address with all the usual tools. I'm not
sure if this is exactly right for Centos but it should be close:
http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_dialin_server. Mgetty should be able to detect
if you are using dial-up networking from the other end and permit connection
either way.
