Octets sent and received will be what you are wanting in order to measure
the bandwidth used by the servers,  Measuring just the packet counts will
not give you an indication of the bandwidth used, due to the fact that not
all your packets are the same size - ranging from 64-1514 bytes on an
ethernet network.

Yes it certainly is.  Look at installing an SNMP Daemon on the linux and and
Hpux boxed ( UCD or CMU snmp daemons are both freely avalible).  IIRC there
is an snmp daemon for NT as part of the NT resource kit ( but I may very
well be wrong- I try and avoid NT :-) )

Once you have this up and running , its is a matter of configuring MRTG
accordingly.
