I "inherited" one of these at HP Labs, but I don't use it much any

Yours looks pretty healthy, except for the display issue. (You are
watching it boot up into HP-UX of course.)
This is just a guess, but I'd try it with several different
monitors. It may be that the server doesn't like the VESA DDI/DDC
information it is seeing.
You might also try using an XDMCP login. I vaguely recall that is
supposed to work. But I'm not sure you can get this to work without
being able to set it up on the console.
(BTW, I was able to load a more recent software image than what was
originally on my 16700A when I inherited it. I found it on the
Agilent site, naturally. That was five or so years ago. You might
want to check there.)

Hello, Mr. Hoover. I intend to try it with a different monitor, just
haven't gotten the LA and more monitors together.
I have already updated to the latest OS, received from Agilent
yesterday. It changed some things, but I'm still not operational.
XDMCP is an interesting option, but I don't think the machine is
bringing up the ethernet interface and starting an X server properly
yet. I'll try to get it hooked up to a hub so I can so some
promiscuous packet sniffing...
Thanks.
