Note that a viable alternative to HP-UX on HP 9000 Series 300 computers is
Utah's port of 4.3BSD+NFS.  Mail hpbsd-dist at cs.utah.edu for more info.

Yes, HP-UX for HP 9000 Series 300 computers lacked job control signals the
last time I checked (6.0), but HP-UX for HP 9000 Series 800 computers
includes job control signals.
