    For the information of those trying to get HP to comply with existing
IP/TCP standards, the official standards are MIL-STD-1777 (IP) and MIL-STD-
1778 (TCP).  The latter is presently being revised by the Defense 
Communications Agency.  The person with overall responsibility for this area
is Mike Corrigan, of the Defense Data Network Program Management Office,
in Reston, Virginia, (Corrigan@DDN), 703-285-5030, and DoD activities 
interested in IP/TCP can contact him for standards information.
     We have an ongoing interest in bringing IP/TCP technology up to the
``plug it in and turn it on'' point, and encourage efforts in that direction.
We did not, in fact, consider HP workstations seriously when we recently
decided to purchase a number of workstatins because HP did not support a 
standard network.
