[comp.sys.mac.comm] Telnet from Mac to HP 9000/3XX

michali@infinet.UUCP (Paul Michali) (10/24/90)

We have a Localtalk network with several Macs (Mostly SEs) which runs TOPS and
uses a SUN machine as a file and print server.  In addition we have a gateway
to ethernet (kinetics box) where several PCs, SUNs, a VAX and a HP 9000 are
connected. So...

If I use Telnet S/W (V2.2) and connect to one of the SUNS ---> A O.K.
If I Telnet to the Ultrix VAX ---> A O.K.
If I Telnet to the HP 9000/3XX ---> "Host or Gateway not responding"

I have each of the machines addresses in my Telnet config file.
Each machine has the address of the MAC in their hosts file.

Any pointers??? I have tried the ping command from the HP and can ping all the
other machines on ethernet but not the Mac.  I even tried messing with the
routing table for the HP and I cannot getthe %$@#!! HP to see the Macs!

Should I be using another program? Should I be using a newer version of
Telnet? Should I be somehow specifying to the HP that the Macs are on another
network (Localtalk)?  Or...
Should I just continue to ftp files up to the SUN from the Mac and then ftp
the files over to the HP from the SUN (Whew!)


Extremely Frustrated and Confused,
