[comp.sys.hp] SLIP for HPUX

rclark@bgphp1.UUCP (Roger N. Clark) (06/30/88)

SLIP on HPUX:

I put my vote in for wanting it!

I'm afraid that if HP is market driven, other vendors come out with
stuff, and people see HP doesn't have it so they buy someone else's
machine (no flames, I'm just being sarcastic).  Is the computer
industry getting TOO competitive?  The consumers sure benefit, but it
sure looks tough for the computer companies to stay on top!

So when do we get SLIP?

Doug made a typo.  The hp3000 runs MPE and the hp9000 runs HP-UX.

The availability of your favorite commerical applications on HP-UX
is increasing, as HP, third party vendors, and customer-experts
like yourselves port them from MPE.  But HP is continuing to improve,
enhance and support MPE, so hp3000 users can rest assured that their
hardware and applications will remain useful far into the future.

I'm from the HP 3000 lab and we're here to help you!! (smiley faces)

Actually, I think  the basenote had a typo  in it.
I am aware of  no HP3000 that runs HPUX. HP3000 900 series
systems are very similar but not identical to HP9000 800 series
systems which do run HPUX. Perhaps that is the source of the
confusion.
