This is not correct.  We (HP) do have an implementation of TCP/IP for the
9000 series 300.  It is called the NS-ARPA product and includes both our
proprietary networking (which includes transparent file access to other
remote machines) as well as the ARPA services (telnet, ftp), and Berkeley
services (rlogin, rsh, and rcp, as well as sendmail including SMTP).  I
don't know anything about TCP/IP on a 3000.  The NS-ARPA product was just
released recently, so news may not have spread everywhere yet.
