Internet Services 

The Internet Services are a set of services that enable the HP 3000
computer to exchange information with remote computer systems on the
network.  The services on the HP 3000 include Telnet, FTP, inetd, tftp,
and BOOTP.

On MPE/iX versions prior to 5.5, Telnet/iX was identified as part of the
ARPA Services on the HP 3000.  ARPA(Advanced Research Projects Agency)
services are a subset of the MPE/iX Internet Services.

For information on the MPE/iX Internet Services refer to Configuring and 
Managing MPE/iX Internet Services manual (32650-90835).

Telnet 

The Telnetprotocol provides a standard virtual terminal connection
between the HP 3000 and other HP and non-HP systems.  MPE/iX Telnet
connections can be made using one of two solutions:  1) via a direct HP
3000 implementation called "Telnet/iX" which enables users to have direct
access to, or from an HP 3000 using the Telnet protocol.  This product
provides both inbound and outbound Telnet connections using only HP 3000
resident code.  2) via a Datacommunications and Terminal Controller(DTC)
with a Telnet Access Card (herein referred to as "DTC Telnet Access")
which provides only inbound Telnet access to an HP 3000 through a DTC.

A brief description follows for each Telnet implementation.  The
remainder of this manual mainly addresses the Telnet/iX product solution.
For more information on the "DTC Telnet Access" implementation, see Using 
HP OpenView DTC Manager (D2355-90001) and the DTC Planning Guide 
(D2355-95017) (note that this solution may be referred to as "Telnet
Access" in these manuals).
