I assume you are talking about a dial-in server. I found an article which is Debian orientated here but there are others around. The basic is to get mgetty functional.
Now my mgetty is functioninig well but when from remote pc someone do the dial up connection
to the linux server it is showing an after connecting for 0.1 msec it will discoonect ....
well these are the log generated during connection even i had checked the ip address which i had assigned is free
the output of /var/log/messages
after login
Can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Peer is not authorized to use remote address (132.22.1.26)
/etc/hotplug/net.agent: NET unregister event not supported

You'll need to load the ppp-compress module or build it into the kernel.
It's telling you that it has no permissions on 132.22.1.26 ( wht not use private ranges?) i.e. you'll have to register peer I think in /etc/resolv.conf . You may also have to configure /etc/hosts.allow.
Can you clarify exactly what you have done? The basis of mgetty is that system that is dailing in should logon with specific name and password. After that the outside system needs to have specific permissions to access files etc on the host system. You need to clarify in your own mind what you want to do.
