I said it before, I'll quote me again:  :-)

I have heard of TCP/IP for MPE/XL, but it only does FTP, not telnet
at present.  I think they're planning Telnet (it's been announced).
In addition, they have a thing called a DTC, which I think is a kind
of serial port MUX with an Ethernet I/F.  That might let you connect
to the MPE box.

BTW, HP have also pre-announced Lan Manager for MPE/XL too!  In
addition, they are bundling LM/X (3 user version) with HP-UX now.
