Duane,
I was in the seminar and here, you can download the pdf-file about the issue

The slides from Dave Wilde that I downloaded from the Interex-web-page make
it very clear. See Page 17 of 21

HP e3000 Roadmap and Progress Updates, Dave Wilde

l

beyond 2003: things HP will likely not be able to address
 extending DTC's and 3000 network card availability.

No misunderstanding !!
Unless the same that WP gave everybody at the last HP-World.
Maybe HP/CSY is nothing more than a misunderstanding.
