There is yet another port to the HP3000 POSIX environment I am aware of. As far as I know 
COMPUWARE will release itīs POLYSERVER for the HP3000 (part of the UNIFACE C/S development 
tool) in the forthcoming version 7 in the POSIX environment.

Unfortunately COMPUWARE decided to not support their WEB ENABLER and APPLICATION SERVER on 
the HP3000. Maybe this will change in the future.

Cheers,
