>Not at all for 2 reasons. First, according to Ron Seybold's HP 3000
Newswire article, it is only being offered to registered HP Channel
Partners. Second, it will only have an 8-user license. Each socket
connection to a web server would count as a user under the current rules. I
don't believe a web server with no more than 8 simultaneous hits would  be
considered "fully functional."<

Ah I get the picture. Is the sockets restriction the same across the board
for all 3K models? I wonder if the 9000/HP-UX works on the same
principle...

I would be interested to see what the demand for the new box is like when
you consider it will only be available to Channel Partners.

Thanks for the information.
