Talk to HP support. They should be able to help you. There's a patch for each
different version of MPE.

Your condition is exactly the situation that advanced telnet was designed
for, although the primary reason for its existence was trans- and
intercontinental telnetting, not wireless communications originally. However, you will notice
a night-and-day difference once you install the proper patch on your HP3000.
If you don't say "Whoa, momma!" at least three times after you've installed
the patch, we've completely and utterly failed.

Be sure that you are on a relatively new version of QCTerm as well. If you
are, QCTerm and MPE will recognize each other and will autoconfigure themselves
into the advanced telnet mode, if both ends support it. QCTerm drops back to
standard telnet for all other OS'es, and probably always will.
