Not exactly HP3000-related, but very relevant to the field, is the article at http://www.pcweek.com/builder/0701/01kais.html describing how Kaiser Permanente is implementing an intranet for its physicians. It mentions that the VAX server they were using as the basis for their Internet site was not reliable. They were also using a DOS-based program to interface to a FORTRAN app to retrieve patient info (as I recall). Now, they're using Netscape and (wait for it, Denys!) NT on 4,000 DEC workstations. (Why they're sticking with DEC when their VAX was deemed unreliable I don't know.) Anyway, I know I've left out some details here; check the article. --Glenn Cole Software al dente, Inc.
