The only thing we needed Openview for (on a windows 3.1 PC) was to boot
up our telnet access board in a DTC/72MX.

Now with inbound telnet support on the HP3000 in software, we have
removed this animal, destroyed the PC with Openview on it, and I hope I
never have the misfortune of ever having to use it again.

We still have two DTC48's with a whole bunch of serial printers and
terminals attached, but the HP3000 does the upload of the config to
them, as it always used to before this crazy Openview became necessary
simply through lack of available resources to port this telnet DTC boot
up stuff to the HP3000 (IMHO).

Anyway, it's gone now :)
