I currently user a couple of DTC 16RX for my serial console solutions.
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but I configured the
DTCs using the console and put the software bits on my tftpserver that I
use to server up parisc-linux kernel images from.  This has worked
flawless for me over the last couple of years and has been an excellent
console solution for my usage.  [Note: both DTC retrieve the same bits
from my tftp server, so no custom configuration appears to be stored in
those binaries].

I do not use the DTCMANAGER software under linux ... I configured all
the ports on the DTC and when I want to add another remote console I
just plug it in and telnet to the DTC port# (I portscanned the DTC
to get the port numbers) and vola, I have the serial console to the
system.  [Note: I am not running HP-UX anywhere in my house, so this
solutions is pure i386 and parisc-linux.


Hope that help, but not sure if this is the information you are looking
for.

Thanks,
