You have to buy two packages unfortunately.  One is something called
ARPA Services for MPE or something like that from HP which gives you
an Ethernet board and a TCP kernal.  Then you have to purchase
third party software to give you the application programs (I kid
you not).  Wollongong sells such a thing for the HP 3000.

Two observations:  

it isn't cheap and the last time we did this we found that HP's TCP
has interoperability problems with Wollongong's TCP package
for the PC.  It works well with most other TCP's, though.

Good luck.
