NetIPC? is a programmatic interface to call networking (socket) routines from a programming language on the 3000. Socket routines allow inter- system data transfers. NetIPC? allows most of the same functionality of berkeley sockets (BSD) but is a proprietary calling interface invented by HP. A notable exception is that NetIPC? does not allow access to UDP/IP primitives where BSD does.
