If you put NIC in one PC and attach it to the same cable that the LANIC in your
HP 300O is attached to you will have a network.  Netware and LANTASTIC will add
nothing usful for transfering files or communicating with the HP 3000.  Further
if you put either Reflection 3000 connect or Minisoft 92 on that PC you will
have a TCP/IP stack that can work in concert with the one supplied with MPE iX
5.0.  This will allow you to use FTP to transfer files between the two machines
provided you purchase FTP (Reflection Network Series) for the PC.  The HP 3000
under MPE iX 5.0 comes with FTP.
