HEY! YOU GUYS OUT AT HP! We just
received our brand new HP9000 series
500 and were all set to hook up to the
main Vax and shuffle everyone over,
when, lo!, I discovered that there's no
uucp stuff (not even cu) delivered with
the system. It's an "accesory".
Naturally, our sales rep didn't have
enough knowledge to warn us about
this...
My question is, why do you get the uucp
stuff on the series 200, but not on the
series 500?

The 200 product came out a little later and they decided to bundle the Async package with the core product. The 500 will follow suit beginning with the 4.0 release this summer. (DGL graphics is also bundled.) If you are on support service, your update will include Async. Unofficially, but hopefully correctly, from...
