[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Need help with tcp-ip on an hp running MPE/XL

	Help!!

	   We are trying to communicate over an ethernet lan from a QNX
	box to an HP3000 running MPE/XL.  We are trying to use tcp-ip.
	We have tried several commercial packages (CMC and FASTech) which
	provide Berkeley socket development tools.  HP has told us that 
	their NETIPC protocol will communicate with a socket.  We have
	had no luck in doing this.  We have been told from two different
	HP sources conflicting stories on compatibility between NETIPC
	and Berkeley sockets.  One source says it will work, the other
	says it won't .  If knowledgable person out there knows
	the truth on this matter your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
	Does, or doesn't, NETIPC speak Berkeley sockets?  If so, what's
	the magic word that gets it to work?  If not then are there
	alternative protocols we can consider?  Any info is useful.  Please
	help set us straight.


	Thanks,
