Yes, it's possible: you have to run "faxsetup" and select the mgetty
instead of the default getty program, and take a careful look at
"GettyArgs" in your config files to make sure that's set up correctly
too.

You shouldn't: what you would do is use faxgetty as the getty on your
serial port, and have it call mgetty when it gets a data call. The
method to do this depends strongly on the operating system.
