HP OSI Transport Services/9000 (OTS/9000) on other operating systems?

[Thomas Flynn]

Does the HP OSI Transport Services/9000 (OTS/9000) OSI networking
stack product run on other operating system?

My company is interested in supporting an application which uses
OTS-9000 on linux platforms.

I rather doubt that OTS/9000 would run on other operating systems. I
am rather confident it was inextricably linked to HP-UX. There may be
outfits offering OSI Transport solutions under Linux, though I suspect
you would have to do at least a little application porting work.
Perhaps even without the OSI issue present as an application written
to HP OTS/9000 may have some other HP-UXisms in it. Absent some sort
of PA-RISC or Itanium emulator, you are going to have to recompile the
application anyway.

The HP OTS/9000 product will only run on HPUX.

Take a look at the offerings of Xelas Software (http://www.xelas.com).
They provide an OSI Transport product which runs on a range of
operating systems: RHEL, SUSE, HPUX, Solaris, AIX and Windows.

Perhaps you can integrate with their OSI Transport interface for
Transport Class 4 or RFC 1006.
I believe that a standards based interface is exposed at that level
(TLI).

This company also provides higher level OSI application protocols and
APIs - perhaps you can also look into integrating
your application at a higher level.

Good luck,

Michael Chang.
