  A cross-system application refers to NetIPC communication between processes
  running on computers of different types. Cross-system NetIPC is supported
  using access to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) only. This chapter
  explains what NetIPC calls using TCP access need to be considered for a
  cross-system application between an HP 3000 and HP 1000 and between an HP 3000
  and HP 9000 (Series 300 or 800). Cross-system NetIPC is also supported between
  HP 3000s and personal computers (PCs) in an HP Office Share Network.
  
  NetIPC communication between MPE V based and MPE XL based HP 3000s is not
  considered cross-system. Chapter 2 "Cross-System
  NetIPC" in this manual contains a section on MPE XL and MPE-V NetIPC
  communication. See the NetIPC 3000/V Programmer's Reference Manual for
  more information about NetIPC on MPE V based HP 3000s.
  
  In a cross-system communication, you can have NetIPC programs running on both
  computer systems. NetIPC enables each program to send data to, or receive data
  from, the program on the remote system.
  
  This chapter does not explain details about the NetIPC calls available on
  HP 1000 or HP 9000 computers, or personal computers. For this information,
  refer to the following manuals
  
    - NS/1000 User/Programmer Reference Manual.
 
    
    - HP 9000 NetIPC Programmer's Guide (for the Series 300 and
        800).
 
    
    - PC NetIPC/RPM Programmer's Reference Guide.
