You need to set 'modem enable' on line con 0 then configure line aux 0.

ation/guide/dialbkup.html#wp1015415 

I don't know whether PAD is supported on the AUX port of the 870 series
but the above should provide a starting point.

Personally I find it annoying that Cisco didn't just put both console &
aux ports on these routers... configuring the console port as an aux
port makes on-site management and configuration (when the modem needs to
be unplugged) a right pain in the arse.
