In your configuration file, do:

add method <router name glob> ssh telnet

where router name glob matches your HP switches. This will make them use
SSH first, then failover to telnet if SSH doesn't work.

This information is in man .cloginrc

It is a little more complex than that; hrancid uses hpuifilter to filter
the screen handling control characters/esc seqs. It needs additional
code to handle ptys and /dev/tty for ssh. Alternatively, I finally
figured out how to make expect (tcl) match escapes - reliably...just
havent had time to work on it.

And you should certainly trust john over me, seeing as I haven't ever
had to use it on an HP 4100 :)
