Question re Hayes-compatible modems on Ultrix uVax

Someone down the hall from me needs help connecting some
Hayes-compatible modems to his Ultrix MicroVax for UUCP and
dialins.  I looked through his manuals and it looks like a
simple procedure, with one exception -- looks like Ultrix doesn't
support non-DEC modems.  This seems unlikely -- my theory was
that one of the DEC modems uucpsetup seems to know about is
probably a Hayes-compatible, and all I have to do is to find
out the DEC part number which corresponds to "Hayes-compatible"
and everything will be fine.  Unfortunately, he has no idea what
kind of modems DEC has and seems to be having trouble getting any
support from DEC for his uVax.  Can anybody help?  What do I tell
uucpsetup to make it work with a Hayes-compatible?

(It's a uVax II running Ultrix 2.0-1, if that makes any difference.
I haven't seen the modems but they're probably USR Courier 2400's
-- any comments regarding problems installing 2400 baud modems might
also be helpful, though I suspect he'd be happy with 1200 baud for a
while.)

Thanks in advance -- any help would be much appreciated.
