 Well, it does work. The question is how to fool mgetty. ;-)

After connection is established I type:

  RING<enter>

It's obvious I don't see what I type. 

And mgetty thinks someone's dialing in. That's "Microsoft tested and
approved" ;-) 

 You may put this into mgetty-FAQ if there's one and what I've done
has never been done before.

 I did 'man callback' and found it's useful thing, but freebsd package
does not contain callback itself. So I had to found a way of foolin'
mgetty.

Thanx for helping me and steering me out of the wrong way.
