After getting PGP to work on my HP3000, I got in touch with the other
party who wants to send us PGP encrypted files and obtained their
keyfile in ascii format.

I attempt to add their keyfile to my keyring and it tries to go out to a
public key server.  (Probably sponsored by someone in the PGP
development process.)

Since I obtained the other party's public key directly, why should I
need to go out to a public key server. 

And since it is an hp3000, I would not expect it to use a URL as if it
were a browser.
(And why did it use a protocol named hkp instead of http?)

I get:

shell/iX> pgpk -a otherpartykey.asc
Retreiving hkp:/horowitz.surfnet.nl:11371/otherpartykey.asc
Looking up host horowitz.surfnet.nl
Unable to import keyfile "otherpartykey.asc".
[1] + Done(134) pgpk -a otherpartykey.asc
  4261264       Abort   pgpk
