We use a modem and UUCP. Is there some way Yes - to use TCP/IP with HP-UX as distributed by HP, you must have an ethernet card connected to a network. If you use a modem to connect somewhere then you must use UUCP and try to find mail servers and/or anonymous UUCP file servers. I've never used UUCP so I don't know any closer how it works. Of course then there is another way to connect TCP/IP through a serial port and/or modem. What you need is a SLIP protocol implementation (or DialSLIP with a modem, I guess). Reading comp.sys.hp seems to indicate, however, that SLIP isn't too available for HP-UX. See the many articles on the subject. -- Kim ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "That's what ( Kimmo ! Lappeenranta U of Technology ! kim@lut.fi ) *I* think." ( Suominen !
