[comp.sys.hp] News from HP-UX 8.0 ?

dhuber@aut.autelca.ascom.ch (Daniel Huber) (12/06/90)

I'd like to hear some news from HP-UX 8.0.

- What's new?
- Is a X.25 pademu integrated now?
- Is NFS on a newer standard now (at least) ? <- very important for me!
- Is the PPP (PPL) package included ?
- SCSI supported (800 series) ?
- UUCP over TCP/IP supported again (was not on 7.0 on 800 series !!!) ?
- Installscripts now fixed (eg. x25install) ?


I'd like to hear everything about it. I'm working with Sun and HP.
It seems HP has always grandmothers UNIX  :-(

Daniel

Yes on SCSI, the details are coming through now but not in strength. I guess
your local office will put on a meeting to discuss the new features roundbout
MArch time but I am in no position to vouch for that.
