Not currently. I think this would require both support for the DTC
devices and porting the DTCMANAGER software.

Do you just want to be able to access the devices? This might be possible
if someone wrote the right drivers.

Or do you want to use the DTCMANAGER software too? I don't think the HP
people in charge of this product plan to port it. You could ask
them though. One possiblity is to try and run it under PA-Linux using
the HP-UX binary support. I suspect you'll need the yet-to-be-implemented
signals stuff though, a bunch of HP-UX Libraries, as well as
the hardware support mentioned above(and maybe some sort of conversion
layer depending on how it wants to access the devices).

Short answer: while possible, I don't think it will ever happen. Don't
let that stop you from working on it though :)

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,
