    My suggestion is that you first contact your HP field sales team.  They
have access to all available information about supported products that may
serve this need.  In particular, you should speak with the SE for your account.
They can contact the Hewlett-Packard Network Marketing Center, which can 
give direct information about all HP and non-HP products that may work.

   Also, I believe that NS/3000 has the ability to do datacomm with HP-UX
machines already, if this is of help.
