Thanks Tracey for the details of your Y2K upgrade of our equipment.

Although it might not be relevant to you all, I believe Y2K is a very
serious issue to anyone using a product which combines non-HP hardware with
their HP3000 environment.  So here is my company's program:

<<plug>>
In our DOS-based fax servers, no upgrade option for Y2K is available.  It is
time for a replacement.

In our Unix-based fax servers, an upgrade is possible for the Pentium-based
units.  The Sun Interactive O/S just released in November 1998 is Y2K
compliant.  We find it easier to send a new hard disc with this Y2K
compliant O/S loaded.  Minimizes the down time.  For the 486-based units, we
ship an upgraded BIOS card and memory.  For the 386-based units, it is time
for a replacement (the new Y2K compliant O/S won't run on it).

In our NT-based fax servers, an upgrade is available as a service pack from
our buddies at Microsoft.  We help them here too.
<<end plug>>

Finally, I hope that everyone on this list is finally on the correct HP3000
Y2K version by now!
