Presumeably you're trying to log in to the HP3000 via the network - rather
than serially thru a DTC port.
 
First of all, you probably want to specify "VT-MGR" - not "TELNET-MGR".
Then, instead of specifying a host name (which you can do - but let's walk
before running here), specify the ip address of the HP3000 - which you must
first set via NMMGR on the host HP3000 (If you want some help here, just let
us know).
 
Assuming you've done this, you also need to specify an IP address for your
PC (which you will be able to do if you have the required TCP/IP software on
your PC).
 
On your PC, you will need the appropriate NSVT software (NSOPEN or
3000Connection, from WRQ).
 
Finally, assuming your host HP3000 network is properly configured and up and
running (via the relavent NETCONTROL and NSCONTROL commands, you should be
able to see the MPE/XL: (or whatever) prompt.
