I also have an E55 with an MDP panel, the thing having 8xDB25 ports (8x RS232). This MDP panel has a 9-pin connector as connection to the E55. So this 9-pin connector seems to be a "high"-speed bus for all 8 serial ports ! So you really need a MDP or DDP panel to connect the up to 16 serial ports. I do not know another way .... BTW, how do you boot the HP-UX ? Blind ? Only use is per telnet/rsh after it is up ?
