Hi Gary,
     I have a friend who uses a HP palm top (um... 100lx or something like
that) and we were able to load Reflection DOS on it and connect... but ...
I don't remember the particulars... and it was sometime ago...

     hmmm... for that matter I haven't got a clue as to how we got
Reflection DOS onto it.... I think we dialed into my novell server and
moved a zip file via it???  What can I say... even at my young age my
memory is going! hehehe :)

Hi folks,
I have an interesting question. I have a user looking for a lite easy to
use palm top that would allow him to dial into our HP3000 and run some
internal reporting programs. In looking at a product like the HP620lx it
would provide great functionality for everything but connecting to the
3000. It supports TTY or VT-100 but will not act like a 700/92 or a 2392A.
Because the applications they will be running use HP escape sequences for
the 2392A the TTY or VT-100 are a no go.
Just as a side issue I called the technical support for palm tops -- they
never heard of a HP3000 a 2392A or products like Reflection or MS92 -- par
for the course for HP these days.  I think it is dumb that they support a
DEC terminal mode and ignore their own products and market.
Their suggestion was to use a 200LX which runs dos and find and old
terminal emulation program written for dos.
Anybody got any suggestions.
