I'd like to direct you to the information available from HP either via the
Internet or
HP First (FAX-on-Demand system) at http://www.hp.com and 800-333-1917
respectively.
 
Explore the various areas on HP's web pages regarding the HP 3000 and request
an index for HP 3000s on the FAX back system.
 
You'll find white papers, case histories, "Why you should invest in an HP 3000
upgrade
Today" white paper, "HP 3000 Next Generation Applications" - customer note,
etc. in
the FAX-on-Demand system.
 
I recommend you retrieve the most current information, that is, the documents
with the
most current dates for the latest information to answer why you should remain
on the
mature HP 3000 platform.
 
Good luck,
Jeff Perry
