You should have absolutely no problem accessing a Unix host with whatever
version of DTCMGR and Openview you are currently using to access your
existing HP3000's.

Keep in mind, however, unless you are configuring your DTC's to utilize
some DNS server (somewhere on your network - but not your HP3000's), you
must connect to your Unix boxes by ip address - rather than the node name
that you currently use when connecting to your HP3000(s).

For example, without a DNS server somewhere, you must:

connect hpnodename (to connect to HP3000)  OR
connect 999.999.999.999 (where 999.999.999.999 is ipaddress of your Unix box)
