I'm not aware of any HP-developed remote procedure call protocol.  We
certainly don't have any dissector for any HP-proprietary remote
procedure call protocol.

We *do* have dissectors for ONC RPC and several ONC RPC-based protocols,
and a dissector for DCE RPC (which was mainly developed by Apollo
*before* HP bought them, so it doesn't count as an "HP-developed remote
procedure call protocol; HP may have contributed to it, but so did
Digital Equipment and possibly other OSF members).  There are dissectors
for some DCE RPC protocols, but they're somewhat skeletal, at present,
and most of them are for Microsoft-developed protocols running atop DCE
RPC.

What *particular types of* remote procedure calls are you trying to
dissect?
