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.
