[comp.sys.hp] Macintosh as a Terminal to HP 1000???

jeffp@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu (Jeff Parke - Vet med staff) (06/21/91)

I want to connect a mac to an HP 1000 system as a terminal.  Does anyone
know if there is mac software equivalent to ADVLINK for the PC for this
purpose.

Also, is there any xmodem software out there written in FORTRAN that I
can get running on the HP?  I will be calling in to HP system with a
Trailblazer modem which will allow fast file transfers in XMODEM...

Jeff,

HP supplies an Advlink for Mac's product number is D2107A. It will
emulate a 2397 color graphics terminal and have file transfer as
well using HP advlink protocol.
The HP1000 supports Advlink filetransfers but if you insist on XMODEM
your local HP1000 support will have XMODEM written in Fortran.
I believe the XMODEM program has been submitted to Interex as well
so you might find it on one of the Interex tapes.

Jeff,

Try contacting the INTEREX Users Group at 408/739-2382 and ask for Steve
Souza.  I have it on good report that some vendor offers an HP 2692
terminal emulator which runs on the Mac, and that a representative of
this company shows up at many INTEREX conferences.  Steve may be able to
help track down the company name, or may know of other offerings.  Good
luck!
