     Please keep in mind that moving the PC's from serial to network
     connections does not, in itself, require you to put Netware/iX on your
     HP3000.  You should only need Netware/iX if you want to use your
     HP3000 as a file and/or printer server for the PC applications.
 
     The session connections to the HP3000 via the LAN will typically be
     made using either HP-VT or Telnet, neither of which will require you
     to have Netware/iX.
 
     If I read your message correctly, it sounded as if you were mostly
     concerned with switching from sessions via serial connections to
     sessions via LAN connections.
