     Well, I don't know about HDB, but I just spent last night hacking
the stripped binary of the stock Unix PC uucico with adb.  I did manage
to find the right place to change to increase WINDOWS to 7, if anyone's
interested.  I haven't switched to HDB because the original UUCP that
came with my machine works extremely well so I don't want to fix it.
