Hi friend,

     We are using Win3.11 based Reflection. Although there might be some miner
     difference between Win3.x and Win95, the bass concepts are the same . Hope
     my experiences will be helpful for you. For your three questions :

     1. Use "best network" means you have LAN card installed on your PCs. Then
     your PC will link to HP3000 either through a Hub or simply connected with a
     single LAN cable together with your HP3K. If you use "serial connection",
     then your PC should be connected to the HP3K either through a DTC or a MUX,
     you don't have to have LAN cards on the PCs.

     2.Every connection( not every PC, cause one PC may have more than one
     connection/logon at a same time) will be assigned a LDEV# randomly when you
     logon into the HP3K. This is for using "best network". If you are using
     "serial" , you'll have only one fixed LDEV#.

     3.From my understanding, I would like to say it's correct.

     Hope these will help.

     Regards,

     It makes no difference whether you are a lion or a gazelle;

Hi folks....

I am a PC person that has recently been thrust into the world of the
HP3000 and I need some assistance.

The company I work for uses an HP3000 (with 50+ Wyse 50 greenscreens) for
telephone market research. Four other people and I program these market
research surveys in some proprietary software that I won't bore you with
right now, using QEDIT as our line editor.

Well, we are getting ready to set up a network in which each programmer
will have a PC with on his/her desk with Reflection. The 5 PCs will be
running Windows 95 and Reflection to access the HP.  The company that does
our HP stuff recommended a setup where all of the PCs' connect into a hub
that has a connection to the HP. This sounds logical, but almost too easy.
I am pretty network illiterate, too, so go easy on me here...

1.      Are the PCs all going to be peer-to-peer'd with each other, or just
connected to the HP?

2.      Will each PC have its own LDEV# when it logs into the HP under
Reflection?

3.      Will we simply be able to switch from "Serial" to "Best Network" in the
Reflection Connection Setup to go from being 9600 baud to 100 Mbps or
whatever 10 Base T promises?

I know that you might be saying, "I need to see this setup before I can
answer any of these questions"... Actually, I want the answer to all of
them to be "YES!" and would like to know of any tips, tricks, etc... that
any of you wizened 3Ker's may have found along the way to make these things
happen.

thank you VERY MUCH in advance for any assistance....
