I'm trying to talk to an HP host via tcp from a PC (and run Office Vision?). Apparently HP talks IEEE TCP-IP instead of DIX, so..... Is there a PC based TCP-IP that will 1) talk IEEE TCP-IP and 2) Interface to either a Packet Driver or NDIS driver? Running/access to HP's Office Vision would be an added plus.

You don't *have* to be talking 'IEEE TCP-IP' to talk with an HP (i assume MPE) box. As of V-Delta 5 on MPE/V and 2.2 on MPE/XL, Ethernet encapsulation is available with ARP as well. On XL, you just go to the NETXPORT.NI.niname.LINK screen and put a Y in the little box. It is something similiar on V, but I don't recall exactly what. Also, if you do 'turn-on' Ethernet, and are in a subnetted environment, be sure to configure a subnet mask. Subnets are available in XL 2.1, and V VD-8 (?). rick jones ___ _ ___ |__) /_\ | Richard Anders Jones | MPE/XL Networking Engineer | \_/ \_/ Hewlett-Packard Co. | But IT IS TCP/IP -- REALLY ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Being an employee of a Standards Company, all Standard Disclaimers Apply

The last comment heard from HP was that you could now get "standard" tcp/ip support for all of their hardware... I have no idea whether this is true. BillW -------
