HP hardware - not really linux

Does anyone on this list have experience with ancient HP hardware
running HP-UX? I've got some servers coming my way (need to support
them) and they are coming to me sans keyboard/monitor. They are
HP 382 machines (so I'm told) I know very little about them. Apparently
they use an HIL keyboard (I interpret this as can't use a PC keyboard) and
they display VGA/SVGA resolution but, I'm not going to assume I can
simply plug a PC monitor into it. What I'd like to do, if possible, is have
them configured to run headless, ie. serial console if that is possible and
maintainable. This way I won't need to scrounge around for scruffy old
keyboards and monitors, rather, I would simply conect them to a terminal
server and be done (like good old SUN hardware). Is is possible? Am
I dreaming?
