DTCMGR, NMMGR, etc. Unfortunately, unless you can set up Domain Name Services somewhere (for example, on your HP9000) and configure your DTC's to point to that location, you're stuck with using IP addresses to connect to the HP9000 (and node names to connect to the HP3000). Alternatively, with DTCMGR, you can set up your function key labels to allow your users to easily choose which machines to connect to without requiring them to know neither IP addresses nor node names. I believe this will work only if you are using HP terminal emulation. At least I haven't figured out the appropriate escape sequences necessary if using VTxxx emulation - even assuming it's possible. (Maybe someone else can help here). If you want more information on how to set up your function key lables to accomplish your objectives, let me know. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilles Schipper Voice: 905/889-3000 GSA Inc.
