Reflection1 should work fine with the win95 tcp/ip stack.

You will need WRQ's VT-MGR (aka NSOPEN) to connect to the HP3000 via VTMGR
protocol.

However, if you are on MPE/iX 5.5, you could connect via Telnet instead of
VTMGR - meaning you could do without WRQ's TCP/IP stack and NSOPEN software.

However, AFAIK, the Telnet connection would consume more HP3000 CPU
overhead than would a VTMGR connection (assuming Telnet software - rather
than Telnet card in DTC).
