 Just connect a modems to serial ports on both sides and start one
 of getty proceses (agetty, mgetty ... the last is recommended)
 on server.

 To do that, put something like this to /etc/inittab:
 m1:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -x1 -n1 ttyS0

 next notify init process about changes:
 # init q

 On client side start minicom, setup modem and dial servers
 number (using AT-commands).

 If everything done properly, u see login prompt on the screen.

 In next u can set up PPP demons, so u can do everythink
 in the same way as via internet.

If you install mgetty on the remote machine and configure it to listen
for incoming calls you can connect with any terminal program like
minicom.
