Sorry for the delay, but things have been crazy at work. I received many responses from my earlier post concerning TCP/IP solutions for the HP-3000. The following response sums it up: > From: Walter Underwood <wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com> > > Talk to The Wollongong Group. I think the product is called WIN/H3000. > It uses the HP-written TCP/IP in the MPE kernel, and adds the basic > services. Current releases of MPE talk Ethernet in addition to 802.3, > but you may need to enable it. > > It should work fine with other systems, though you will need to put > the other addresses into the MPE network directory (local equivalent > of a host table). Because the terminal interfaces on the 3000 are > half-duplex, the TELNET client is half-duplex. Don't expect to login > to a full-duplex host from the 3000 and enjoy it. The terminal > hardware just won't support it. I'm pretty sure that the MPE/XL > machines have full-duplex terminal support, so things wil get better > in the future. > > Walter "a TCP/IP user, not an MPE user" Underwood I'm now off talking to Wollongong about the possibility of having the HP run DNS ( Domain Name Services ) for host name lookups. Initial repose from the Wollongon sales-person was "I'm sure we have it ". I'm not quite so confident. If I find anything else out, I'll post.
