We have a block mode application, (COBOL, SPL and VPlus), running
on an HP 3000 model 950 under MPE/iX Version 5.0.  What we need to
do is provide on-line access to this application from an existing
remote Wide Area Banyan network.  We also need to be able to address
a printer to get application print-outs back to the remote users.  We
will, in the near future, be getting a Banyan server and leased
line into our office to connect us to the Wide Area Banyan network.
 
The questions are....
 
1. Has anyone ever tried to do this before?
 
2. I know that the HP3000 supports netware, (which seems to me rather
   strange since MPE/iX talks TCP/IP and Netware talks IPX), but can I
   have on-line access to an MPE/iX application through Banyan
   communications and still have remote printers individually
   addressable?
 
3. If I can, what do I need, (I understand that if it is even possible,
   I will at least need Vines ENS)?
 
If anyone can answer these questions, please let me know either here
or at the e-mail address below.........Thanks in advance.......
