Unfortunately we have a lot of hardware (older NCD HMX terminals and so
on) that do not support DHCP so we will have to go with BootP on this
project. Before I go any further, does anyone have a version of BootP
that will work with xinetd? I downloaded the bootp-2.4.3-7 files but I
thought I'd check and see if anyone had what I was looking for before
proceeding much further. Thanks again for all of your help.
