The HP 3000 Internet Services consist of a set
of programs that help the HP 3000 computer exchange information
with other nodes on the internet. The Internet
Services offered on the HP 3000 are a subset of the Internet Services
available on the HP 9000, which were previously called the ARPA
Services. This introductory chapter:
Provides an overview of the Internet
Services
Lists the system requirements for using Internet
Services
Shows how to verify the installation of the set
of configuration and program files for Internet Services that were
delivered with the MPE/iX Fundamental Operating Software.
Lists configuration files
Describes two configuration files that all of the
Internet Services use, the protocols file
and the services file, and how to install
and edit them.
At the end of this introductory chapter, there is a list of
additional manuals that may be helpful.
By and large, the subset of Internet Services running on an
MPE/iX system are identical to those available on UNIX machines.
There are, however, some differences between them. If you are an
experienced HP-UX system administrator and you plan to skim the
information in this manual, pay attention to the "Implementation
differences" sections at the end of each chapter. They
describe the important differences between MPE/iX version of Internet
Services and the HP-UX version of Internet Services.
