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:

if you are using dial-up networking from the other end and permit connection 
either way.
