Sure is. Setup a dx_19200 getty in /etc/gettydefs. Look at the fix-telebit
script in /usr/lib/uucp and run it on your serial port with the modem
connected and turned on. *Then* start your getty. If you want to get fancy,
you can setup uugetty running on ttyf (hdwr-flow ctl) so that you can
either dial-in or dial-out on the same port, but I'd get one or the other
going first before tackling uugetty.  Your cable will be pinned as: 
2-8 straight through, and 9->20. 

The fix-telebit script gives some good suggestions for initial uugetty
lines in /etc/inittab.  Good luck.
