Are you trying to use rsync over SSH (server:foo/bar) or an rsync daemon
(server::foo/bar)?  If you're using SSH, make sure you can log into the
server from the HPUX machine with SSH.  If you're using a daemon, it
listens on port 873; try connecting to the daemon by hand using a tool
like nc and you should see "@RSYNCD: 29".  I don't know how to configure
ports to be open or to be open to certain users, but the daemon
configuration file rsyncd.conf configures the usernames and passwords of
the rsync users (distinct from Unix users) allowed to access the daemon.
