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? Roger N. Clark bgphp1!rclark

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. Brian Perkin hpda!bmp
