<<Is it possible for a client PC to connect to a NetIPC socket on [an]
hp3000 using either HP's old PC/NetIPC under officeshare, or Berkeley
sockets?  We have several client/server programs that run with
officeshare and we are looking to migrate to windows nt and it would be
nice if we (I) didn't have to rewrite the server programs.  Any
suggestions?>>

Sure; basically, "a socket is a socket", and sockets are really just a
programming interface to the transport; what's underneath is the same. We
use the Windows Sockets ("Winsock") interface on the PC to talk to NetIPC
sockets on the 3000. BSD sockets from the PC end would be the same.
