Calls will be automatically forwarded to voice mail and processed as quickly as possible. For accurate and thorough answers leave detailed messages. Networking and Client/Server Does DART 9.0 have Token Ring support for SNA or NetWare? Token Ring support is available with HP SNAplus Release 2.0 by obtaining a patch. Refer to the March 1 DataComm Newsletter for instructions on how to obtain this software. NetWare/9000 Version 3.11 is part of the DART 9.0 release, but this version does not support Token Ring. What is the best source for new DTC configuration information? The best source is the DTC Racking and Cabling Guide, P/N 5961-0373, available from Support Materials Organization at 800-227-8164. "HP STREAMS/UX for HP's UNIX Servers and Workstations" Correction The following is a correction for the March 1 article. HP NetWare and OSI Transport Services (OTS) products and the entire SNAplus product family require STREAMS. The HP-UX 8.X version of these products included a bundled and limited implementation of STREAMS. For HP-UX 9.X, STREAMS/UX is a separate product: P/N J2237A for HP 9000 Series 800, P/N J2232A for HP Apollo 9000 Series 700, and P/N J2231A for HP 9000 Series 300/HP Apollo 9000 Series 400. HP STREAMS/UX is compatible with UNIX(R) System V Release 4 and supports products from both HP and external vendors. Only one copy of HP STREAMS/UX is required per system. Customers that purchased support for an HP STREAMS-based networking product on HP-UX 8.X will receive STREAMS as part of the 9.X update to that networking product. For more information access the Networking Hotline subject STREAMS. HP 9000 Series 800 and HP 1000 What is the new ordering structure for HP OpenSpool and OmniBack? Refer to "HP OmniBack, OmniBack/ Turbo, and OpenSpool User-Based Licensing" in the December 1, 1992, Computer News. Unlimited-user license option UAT has been deleted, and 512-user option UCQ has been added. For more than 512 users order option UCQ in conjunction with another license option to bring the total to the required number. 900 Series HP 3000 and Terminals Can HP LaserJet III and 4 printers be configured on HP 3000? To use an HP LaserJet III printer with HP 3000 you must use a status checking card, P/N 26013A. To run an HP LaserJet IIIsi printer on HP 3000, use status checking card P/N C2059H. The HP LaserJet 4 printer runs on MPE/iX 4.0. Serial connection support solutions are available from external vendors: Status3000 ESI-2626A from Extended Systems, 800- 235-7576; JetCard/MIO-3000 from Excellink, 408-295-9000. For network support on HP LaserJet 4 printers use an HP JetDirect card for Ethernet/802.3 networks, P/N J2741A or J2742A, with NBSPOOL from QUEST, 714-720-1434. Can mirrored disks be used with SCSI? Yes, but there are some constraints. For example you can mirror the two internal disks, but this is not recommended or supported as the nonsystem internal disks are on the same SCSI card. Mirrored disks should be on different cards. You can mirror fiber-link disks and SCSI disks on the same system, but the disks must be mirrored within their own family (FL to FL, SCSI to SCSI). The 4.0 version of the operating system is required. Order HP Mirrored Disk/XL software, P/N 30349A. Refer to the data sheet, P/N 5952-0302. For More Information For a list of HP networking products and data sheets request HP FIRST ID 39992. For current information and slides on networking products access the Networking Hotline subject INDEX or use Power Tools.

Rex Backman/SWT ------------------------- Start of Article ----------------------------- 1;Computer News, April 1, 1993 2;HP IN GENERAL CWR Channel Merges with Two-Tier Channel CWR Channel Merges with Two-Tier Channel For the U.S. Only Contact: Tony Hinojosa, 408 or Telnet 447-0794 Effective March 1 channel programs for U.S. certified workstation resellers (CWRs) were incorporated into Computer Systems Organization's (CSO) two-tier distribution channels, and the CWR terminology was retired. CWR franchisers sign on as CSO distributors. Independent CWRs and CWR franchisees become CSO distributor-authorized resellers (DARs) and operate in one of several newly created DAR value-add categories. With this change from having HP Channel Partners operating in the CWR channel receive a mix of programs and infrastructure provided by CSO and Computer Products Organization (CPO), CSO can provide a consistent set of programs for its two-tier resellers. The two former CWR franchisers, Intelligent Electronics (I.E.) and Microage, maintain their ability to purchase CSO products by signing CSO two-tier distributor agreements. The new agreements are separate from current CPO franchiser dealer agreements. Former I.E. and Microage CWR franchisees can become certified as HP DARs by completing a DAR Quick Approval Form and asking their local HP account reps to submit the form and a copy of the DAR Nomination Cover Sheet to the HP Microage or I.E. headquarters sales team. After approval by Microage or I.E. the HP headquarters rep will submit the paperwork directly to the Americas Value-Added Channels Marketing Center (VMC). Former independent CWRs can establish DAR relationships with HP distributors by following the same procedure. When filling out the Quick Approval Form the DAR must indicate whether it is a software developer, solution implementer, or OEM DAR. Once DARs are certified their company information will be automatically entered into the HP Channel Partner VALID database, and they will begin to receive applicable VMC services. The Quick Approval Form and Nomination Cover Sheet contain the information needed to enter certified DARs into VALID; DARs no longer need to fill out separate HP data kits.

The new cards are also supported with HP LaserJet 4 and IIISi printers, PaintJet XL300 printers, and DesignJet 600 and 650C plotters. When the cards are installed in any of these peripherals, a single selectable network protocol/network operating system is supported. Product Positioning The new HP JetDirect cards are the network connection to prefer for HP network-ready printers and plotters that are equipped with MIO accessory slots. The cards are complemented by the HP JetDirect EX external network interfaces, which provide entry-level network printing solutions for HP printers and plotters without MIO slots, such as the HP LaserJet IIIP printer (see preceding article). Competitive Positioning HP JetDirect cards are currently unmatched in their breadth of network protocol and network operating system support, ease of installation and use, remote status capabilities, high-performance throughput, and reliability. For More Information For a listing of HP JetDirect network interfaces and their supported configurations, refer to the HP JetDirect selection guide, P/N 5091- 6263E, which is available via fax from HP FIRST ID 1349.

HP Paper Feeder is a 1,500-sheet capacity feeder. o Target Market: network printer customers that require high- volume (documents of 200 pages or more) or unattended printing Features and Benefits HP Stacker is designed to match the footprint of the feeder and the printer. When used with HP Paper Feeder it facilitates unattended printing and increases printer I/O capabilities. For customers that do not require unattended printing a solution is HP Paper Feeder combined with HP LaserJet Printer Cabinet.

Competitive Positioning HP is the only major printer company currently offering this solution for network printers. Tips and Traps Incremental profits can be added to HP LaserJet Si/Si MX printer sales by including paper-handling solutions. Follow-up sales opportunities are also available because HP Output Stacker is compatible with the HP LaserJet IIISi printer with the addition of installation kit P/N RG5- 0067-000CN. HP Output Stacker must be installed by an authorized HP service dealer or customer engineer. Stacker price does not include installation. HP Output Stacker installation time for HP LaserJet 4Si/Si MX printers is approximately 1 hour; for HP LaserJet IIISi printers, 11/2 hours.

HP is offering a set of Smalltalk class libraries that allows VisualWorks from ParcPlace Systems to be used in prototyping systems using distributed objects. The initial HP Distributed Smalltalk release in April is a limited distribution aimed at current VisualWorks users. VisualWorks is required for the use of HP Distributed Smalltalk. The future release of a broader-based version is dependent upon the success of this release. C++ versus Smalltalk For C++ SoftBench and HP Distributed Smalltalk positioning, both languages must be positioned as to their relative merits in object- oriented development. C++ is a solution for performance-oriented, mission-critical applications, especially server applications. Smalltalk is a solution for prototyping as in user interface-oriented client applications. Customers that are beginning object-oriented work from a C background may find migration to C++ easier. Customers that are moving from COBOL or 4GLs may find a move to Smalltalk easier. HP Distributed Objects Program Implications Both C++ and Smalltalk will support object-oriented development of distributed applications. Objects developed with either language will interoperate via the OMG standards. HP Distributed Smalltalk is intended to give some customers early access to OMG CORBA technology. HP intends C++ SoftBench to be the development environment of choice for future C++ implementations of OMG CORBA.
