For the 700/96, you need a straight cable, not the null-modem one. My set came
with the origional one.

You can use your null-modem to connect the HP-UX box to your PC and use
hyperterm (or better).

By head, I recall the settings should be 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, no stopbit.

If there are any pointers (mice and such) or keyboards connected, it most-likely
defaults to 'workstation'-mode and tries to use a (graphical?) display for console.

btw: my root for info: http://www.openpa.net/, your machine is at
