	I am assuming that by HP systems you mean 3000s with MPE.  HP
9000 systems running HP-UX have all the 4.3 BSD features and then some.
For MPE systems Wollongong, Palo Alto, Ca.  provides telnet service 
with a product called WIN/TCP for MPE/V.
	With regard to HP terminal emulation I suggest two solutions
for MPE systems.  One would be Preview, a product by Tymlabs of
Austin, Texas (512) 478-0611.  Preview provides similar services to the
Unix termcap facility for MPE systems.  Preview supports close to one
hundred terminal types and probably includes PC monitors and keyboards.
The main thrust of the product is to allow you access to your VIEW or
block mode applications on the 3000.
	As for a true terminal emulation for PCs may be you haven't 
tried hard enough with HP.  I would think HP would offer some type of
emulation for their Vectras.  I have heard tales about a fellow named
Richard Gillmann who developed an HP terminal emulation for PCs on behalf of
DARPA years ago.  His product was called VDTE, his company was called
Interloop Software (213) 822-2880.
