From inside the garage.... Short version : we are checking into it. Long version : The HP3000 connection to transfer Predictive information function is currently only used inside of the "HP" network. Our lab is working on the testing of this function on a subnet outside of our network. We are making no promises at this point, the program was not written to function outside of the HP network, and does a combination of direct IP and DNS to connect to the Response Center version of Predictive. Another factor pushing this method of connection is the HP/Agilent spin-off, since all of those machines will then be outside the HP network. My lab contact will be in town the week of 4/7 and this is one of the things we will be going over. At this point I can't make a commitment to releasing this outside of HP's network, it needs to work first, but there are a lot of people working to see IF it can work. We have structured our systems and firewalls to support this if it becomes available and should know in the next few months. We may be looking for some sites to Beta test this, so I may be asking for sites who want to try in the future. Skip Manley HP CSSA-IT, RCP SA
