- The easiest way is to put your machine on a net. A 2 USER license is really
- a misnomer. It really is 2 *access* points. Lan access takes one of those,
- the console takes the other. With a 2-USER license You can have 1 person
- logged on to the console and 57 telnetting in through the Lan. But if you
- add another RS-232 terminal on to your machine (300,400,700 series, don't
- know if true for 800) you're screwed.

- I got this confirmed by HP at a user group meeting. I asked the question
- twice and followed up with specifics to make sure I hadn't misunderstood.
