HDB for the 3B1 is available from osu-cis.  Get the file
osu-cis!~/att7300/STORE/HDB3.5+IN.Z

While you are at it, you may also want to get
osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get
and
osu-cis!~ls-lR

How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:

#
# Direct Trailblazer
#
osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Direct V.32 (MNP 4)
# dead, dead, dead...sigh.
#
#osu-cis Any ACU 9600 1-614-292-1153 in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Micom port selector, at 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps.
# Replace ##'s below with 12, 24, or 96 (both speed and phone number).

Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
local telephone system.  There are no limitations concerning the hours
of the day you may call.

I have a copy of the uugetty replacement written by Paul Sutcliffe and
posted in alt.sources some time back.  I have modified this to read
the result codes generated by the Telebit (or other modem) and set the
line to the right speed.  It works quite well on AT&T SYSV R3.2, but
I have no idea if it will work on a 7300.  I can send it to anyone
interested.
