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.

The Telnet protocol 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
and the DTC Planning Guide (note that this
solution may be referred to as "Telnet Access"
in these manuals).
