The problem is that the HP's don't have TCP/IP, so we've got a real problem trying to get them to talk to our Vax running 4.2BSD(BRL).

TCP/IP w/file transfers is now available for the HP 9000 series, with the latest Rev. of HP/UX. This information was provided by a couple of helpful HP personell as well as some end-users of the HP9000s. A summary of the pertinent information follows, and while I didn't get permission to post it from the individuals, I don't believe they will mind. (Many apologies if I'm wrong!) MANY MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL THAT WROTE TO ME! ________________________________________ From: HP has released Arpa/Berkeley Services for the HP 9000 series 300.
