ARPA Services 

The ARPA services are a subset of the networking services originally
developed by the University of California at Berkeley for the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA). ARPA services have become a de facto
standard for multivendor network communication.

MPE XL provides the Teletype Network Protocol (TELNET) and File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) ARPA services which enable users to communicate with
non-HP and HP systems using these services.

TELNET 

TELNET facilitates logging on remotely between the HP 3000 and other HP
and non-HP systems.  It enables users connected to the Datacommunications
and Terminal Controller (DTC/3000) to have simultaneous direct access to
HP 3000 and non-HP 3000 systems.  It also enables users on a remote
system to logon and run applications on the HP 3000.  The TELNET protocol
provides the ARPA standard virtual terminal connection between an HP 3000
and a remote host on the network.

FTP 

FTP is an ARPA Service that allows users to transfer files among other
networked systems.  FTP is the file transfer program that uses the ARPA
standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP). With FTP, you can also perform
file management operations.

FTP is based on the client-server model.  An FTP user on a system (the
client) accesses the remote host FTP server to perform FTP tasks (see
Figure 1-1).
