I am trying to determine the good / better / best way to have an HP3000 connect
to the outside world, ie. communicate.

Whether the HP3000 contacts AT&T, MCI, or Sprint to exchange information, I feel
it is "kludgey" at best.

Have you found a successful way?

One option I have is to use my HP9000 (D250) as the gateway box, using all the
open-standards that HP-UX has built into the OS.

I then tie my HP9000 and HP3000 together using DCE between the two boxes.
Speedware does the data transfers between the HP9000 and HP3000.

Just wondering if I can squeeze more out of the HP3000.  When I let the telco's
know I have a HP3000 they just have a frustrating look on their face.  If I say
HP9000, all smiles.

Thanks in advance,
