According to the Linux man page.

mgetty - smart modem getty

SYNOPSIS
	mgetty [options] ttydevice [gettydefs]

DESCRIPTION
	Mgetty is a smart getty replacement, designed to be used
with hayes compatible data and data/fax modems. Mgetty knows
about modem initialization, manual modem answering (so your modem
doesn't answer if the machine isn't ready), UUCP locking (so you
can use the same device for dial-in and dial-out). Mgetty
provides very extensive logging facilities.


There is more on the man page. The power is in the options. For
example,

-r tells mgetty that it is on a direct line. UUCP locking is done
but no modem initialization whatsoever.

-s sets the port speed to use, e.g. "-s 19200"

I'm glad you asked the question, it gave me a reason to go and
review the man page. :)
