   Very recently, I was hired to SysAdmin an HP 9000 model 500 for one
   of our undergraduate labs. ...  Within a few months, we should be
   getting in several HP 9000/300 machines, which I understand already
   have all of this implimented; it would be desirable connect to them
   in a high-speed fashion as well.

The 9000/500s are not all that fast compared to today's systems (the
current s300 machines, for example).  It will probably be less work to
just move everyone to the new 300s and leave the 500 behind.
