I don't think it's possible in HP. It's available in SUN.

Yes it's possible but only for 2 machine.

Behind HP 700/96 console there 2 serials ports so you can connect two hosts.

To switch from one to another you just have to press "user key" (next to F5) and "terminal config" (F8) and change serial(1)/serial(2) to serial(2)/serial(1)...

You have to do some configuring on the first server you will be connecting from.

do a "man cu" to find out how.
