Hi gang,
We are on the verge of great things, but I figure I'm better off forewarned
so...

Does anyone have experience connecting a 

	Sequent (Dynix 3.0.17) 

to an 

	HP 3000 (MPE/V Delta 5) with
		HP's LANIC board and TCP/IP software
		Wollongong ARPA Services for MPE TCP/IP

I have been warned off telneting from the HP, but any other gotchas would
be appreciated. 

Also, we are going to try some print sharing from the HP and the Sequent to 
a serial printer on a Xyplex terminal server.  We are debating having both
systems print to the same port and using DTR/DSR to check port availability,
or using one machine as a print server and ftp'ing files to it from the second
machine with a script on the first to watch a spool directory for new print
files.  If anyone has any scripts for something like this, or ideas/suggestions
we'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Richard
