     A few months ago, I asked the following question:

     "Can the HP3000 use an external DNS Server to resolve IP
     addresses instead of having to add them into the host table on
     the system?"

     The answer was simpler than I thought.  All I add to do was add
     two lines to the file "RESLVCNF.NET.SYS" and all worked fine.  If
     the file does not exist the file RSLVSAMP.NET.SYS can be used as
     an example.   The two lines I added were:

     domain abc.def
     nameserver 9.9.9.9

     where abc.def is the last two parts of the domain name as
     specified in NMMGR NS-Configuration screen
     where 9.9.9.9 is the IP address of the external DNS server.
