I am assuming that the web based training will have the attendees using
their own systems for the "hands on" labs portion of the course. If this is
the case there are many aspects of the operators function that can not have
a hands on lab. Any aspect of the course that is intrusive on system
operations would need to be information, sans lab. I think this would be a
major shortcoming of the web based course.

Is there a way to create a "virtual HP3000" as part of the web program. This
would allow the student to get hands on training without compromising your
system.

In principle I think web based training is a great idea. Anything that will
make education more readily available is to be commended. If I can be of any
assistance, please let me know.
