Matt -
For the past year we have been running the Novell NLM BootP and it has worked
out fine for us. We run it on one of our file servers and the computers
receiving IP #'s are Macs and PCs. The only problem we have had with BOOTP
is making it work across our router boxes (Network Systems). In fact I
have been trying to get Network Systems to help me make BootP work across
subnets, but it still isn't working. Our goal is to move BootP off of
the fileserver and on to our Vax (running VMS).
