[comp.windows.x] IBM's Xstation-120

  I am trying to get a demo unit of IBM Xstation-120. However, I have a
problem that I won't have an R-6000 station to load the X software from.
I was told by IBM's technical guy that it loads the software via TFTP (which
I can handle) but before the load it tries to locate the boot host by using
some IP broadcast and waiting for a reply. He couldn't give me the details
of this "little talk". Does anyone have the description of this pre-load
protocol so I can emulate it also?
                                   Thanks in advance, __Yehavi:
