[comp.sys.hp] TCP/IP solutions for HP-3000

jdr@sloth.mlb.semi.harris.com (Jim Ray) (08/04/90)

Does anyone know of any tcp/ip solutions for hp-3000's with the
normal applications - FTP and TELNET.  Also, how they interacted with 
workstations like Sparcstations and Decstations and vaxes
running BSD 4.3.

I'm holding my breath -- but maybe even the r commands ( like rsh
rlogin ... ).

Thanks,

Question: Arpa services on 3000's? (FTP and Telnet)

Answer:   It depends ;-)

It depends on what manner of 3000 you're talking about. If it is the
'classic' (MPE/V) 3000 (Series 70,68,58,...) then you should get in
touch with Wollongong. You will also need to be running an
apropriately 'new' V-Delta MIT - something in a V/D-5 or greater to
get Ethernet...

If you are talking about ARPA services on XL's (Series 9XX), the
answer is to really pester your sales rep for information - they've
been given the 'scoop' on what can and can't be said that the rest of
us don't have. Again, it will likely require running an apropriately
'new' XL Release - probably something greater than 2.1.

On the subject of the r commands and as a purely humanitarian and
medical gesture, I would suggest normal breathing at this time ;-)

Network Research in Oxnard, CA has tcp/ip for the 3000.
