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. Because we needed access to the HP3000 operating system sources, we had to sign a source license 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 involved with the development of software for the HP3000, 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.
