Under that effort we also developed user and server TELNET and user FTP. This software required modifications to the HP3000 operating system and ran on an HP3000 Series 3 under MPE IV. We completed this effort in 1983 and delivered the software to White Sands Missle Range, where it was modified to run on an HP3000 Series 44 system under the MPE V/P operating system. (See attached note from Ken Terry at WSMR from 1985) Because we needed access to the HP3000 operating system sources, we had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with HP. This agreement restricts our ability to redistribute this software except to U.S. government sites as directed by DARPA. Because BBN is not heavily into the development of HP3000 software, we tried to give our software to HP to have them support it and track subsequent HP3000 operating system and hardware improvements. To date, HP has not taken us up on our offer. They may be in the process of developing TCP/IP for the HP3000 themselves, but at this point, we have no current contacts at HP.

Edmond Subject: conversion of software. Thought I would let you know the status of the conversion effort from MPE V/P to MPE V/E. I currently have TCP/IP, user TELNET, and user FTP running but still have significant work to do on the Pseudo-drivers for server telnet. I have received some help from HP in terms of changes they have made in the operating system (i.e. new intrinsics) but they haven't really gone out of their way to be too helpful. Thanks much for all the help you gave me. You without a doubt saved me many months worth of searching and scratching. Ken. /* End of text from orstcs:comp.protocols.tcp-ip */
