You'd need the mgetty package.
To set it up, I think webmin-ppp would be helpful.
But if you'd need only terminal connections, then mgetty would be
sufficient; you need to edit /etc/inittab though:
# Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
#
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 ttyS0 
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 ttyS1

The lines would depend on where your modems are located.
Make sure that you execute "telinit q" after you edit the inittab file.
