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
(?).
