-The internal modem on the 7300 is controlled via the 'install' ua menu, 
-under 'Administration', 'Hardware setup', 'Telephone setup' (menus in that
-order).  The kicker is you have to tell the system you have a phone line
-plugged into the second phone port, and you are using it for 'data'
-communications (even if you want to use it for voice calls occasionally).
-If you have the phone manager running, and make this change, you'll see the
-top line change from VOICE2: IDLE to DATA or something like that.  Log out
-and the system should happily start a getty (or uugetty) on the port.

Not neccessary. Configure the one and only line as VOICE. Then
use the 'phtoggle' command to toggle between DATA (auto-answer) 
and VOICE mode. I use a cron job to toggle my machine into DATA
at 9:00 AM and back to VOICE at 5:00 PM. This way I can get
my usenet feed during the day while I'm at work, and still use
the phone for voice call when I'm at home (if a salesman calls
while I'm at work, let him eat carrier ;-).
