It's a GREAT little HP-UX box. ( or should I say it WAS a great little HP-UX box ) The only problem with the IPC was marketing and updates. For some reason the marketing yoyo's thought the IPC was a replacement for the 85- it wasn't; it never will be, and it died because of it. The IPC was way ahead of it's time... It's a shame HP marketing and politics killed the product! The IPC (with the program development rom) did all I wanted, not fast; but, it did it. I will make one BOLD statement, " the IPC is a hunk of junk without the Program Development Rom"... -- Jeff (Spectra Software) Harrell
