Two things:
1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g. PHNE_18173
for s700/10.20).
2. You must use
echo 'lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W1' | /usr/bin/adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
You can insert this e.g. into /sbin/init.d/lan

What you are seeing is expected, un-patched, behaviour for an HP-UX
system. On 11.00, you need to install the latest lancommon/DLPI
- patches, and then the latest driver patch for the interface(s) in use.

At that point, a miracle happens and you should start seeing outbound

Thanks a lot. I have this problem on several machines running HPUX
10.20 and 11.00. The machines where patched up before y2k so did not
know what to think. Anyway I have now installed PHNE_19766,

I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
the (then optional) STREAMS product. This would bring DLPI, which is
what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.

I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
