Please post here or reply to [log in to unmask], Thx, > Jim > Most people use HP's network services virtual terminal (NS/VT) protocol rather than telnet to connect to an HP3000 over a network. NS/VT will work over the internet provided that you use the Ethernet II option. To get NS/VT for MPE 4.0 you must purchase the NS3000 product. If you upgrade to MPE/ix 5.0 you get NS/VT free. On the client end you need a program such as MiniSoft 92 or Reflection (if you are running DOS or Windows) or IX/92 or IX/Connect if you are running UNIX. Peter Gofton, Software Licensing Corp.
