I don't have such a cd...
I have only two HP cd sets:
"HP-UX Applications/Patches 10.20" 5 CDs
"Additional Core Enhancements HP-UX 10.20 Workstations" 1 CD

Do you know if one of them contains these tools?

See my other post for results of backup... it provoced the same (or at 
least a similar) error :-/
I do not currently have another system I could put the disk in (I got a 
C200 but it is not in a working state right now). The disk does not 
contain too important data - but it was a lot of work to set up the router.
