If they're not using 'Dialers' to provide the per-modem chat scripts, 
then they're are NOT running standard HDB.  Standard lookup sequence
is Systems -> Devices -> Dialers & Dialcodes.  If this isn't what
they're doing, they've been hacking it for some reason.

Yes, 'cu' IS different for HDB, since it needs to use the same lookup
procedure as uucp/uucico to determine how to reach a particular system 
or address a particular modem to dial out.
