Hello World! The subject line says it all. Our local HP rep doesn't know anything at all & we really need to network them together. I've heard TCP/IP will be available soon - but could someone inform me better? We have an Ethernet adaptor (DEUNA) on the VAX. To start with we would be happy if the VAX users could logon to the HP and vice-versa. File Transfer, telnet, SMTP mail could follow later. We really need your help, even serial lines with a dialout on the HP would do (for the present). Many many thanks in advance! -- Sharan Kalwani, VAX Facility, MCF, 110 East Warren Avenue, Detroit MI 48201 USENET : ...!{uunet!umix, pur-ee!iuvax, ucbvax!mtxinu}!mcf!shan INTERNET: shan%mcf.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu -or- shan@mcf.uucp DEC ENET: DECWRL::"umix.cc.umich.edu!mcf!shan" FAX: (313) 831-8714

There is a company called "The Wollongong Group" which has done a (full?) implementation of TCP/IP on the HP3000's. Contact them for details. Shankar

We are currently looking for software to run on a VAX 750, an HP9000/550 and an HP3000/58. HP itself makes (what they claim is) a nice interface if your VAX runs VMS. Ask your sales rep to read up on the HP AdvanceNet Specification Guide pages 305 and 371 of the March 88 issue. I know of only one company that is doing ARPA services for HP stuff. Try: The Wollongong Group 1129 San Antonio Road Palo Alto, CA 94303-4374 (415) 963-7100 I know they have a product for the HP9000 series computers. I believe that they also have (or will soon) the same product for the HP3000s.

The ad quotes prices of $7500 - $12000. Contact : (quoted from the ad) The Wollongong Group 1129 San Antonio Rd. P.O.

Contact them for details. Somebody else at HP Inf.Net.Divn. pointed out them to me. I have since contacted them and the status is as that the product WIN/3000 will be available end of May, currently they are doing training and documentation and all that fun stuff. I am now consolidating all the info I got, eg what are the components needed on the 3000 side and any hidden gotchas, bridges necessary, etc. I am also waiting for prices and some more literature, so anybody if interested, send me reminder (maybe two as I am always deluged with work and it may just escape me..) and I'll forward anything new that pops up since this time of writing. There are a couple of small points to remember, but I'm sure HP will smoothen them out in the future. Currently there are not plans to port them product to the new Spectrum series (950, 930, etc.) but I'm sure that will happen someday. By that I mean "native" mode, it will run in emulation mode I'm told. Also if you do upgrade from the older 44, 70 series to the new ones you will have to change a few pieces of hardware on the network-computer interface side. By the way, the marketing types may not know all of this (yet), so be patient with them ;-). Thanks to all those who helped! -- sharan kalwani, vax facility, mcf, 110 east warren avenue, detroit mi 48201 usenet : ...!{uunet!umix, pur-ee!iuvax, ucbvax!mtxinu, ihnp4!mibte}!mcf!shan internet: shan%mcf.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu shan@mcf.uucp dec enet: decwrl::"umix.cc.umich.edu!mcf!shan" fax: (313) 831-8714
