I started a similar thread about a year ago.  If anyone has made any progress  
on this I would also like to hear about it.  I managed to get the HP and my  
NeXT talking but the only way to start the process was to start Kermit with a  
modem connected, unplug the modem (the serial cable that is), and connect the  
HP in it's place.  Yuck!  

The HP has only RX and TX and GND and only talks Kermit.  Surely wonderful Unix  
can communicate with devices such as this.  So how 'bout it you Unix gurus :-)
