What is the best method for dynamically assigning IP addresses to PC's that are directly on our main ethernet? I have heard of the BOOTP and RARP protocols, so I guess what I need is BOOTP or RARP server software. Our main machines are VAX running VMS with 6.4 CMU TCP/IP and a Sequent S27 with DYNIX (BSD 4.2 UNIX). The PCs will probably be running NCSA telnet (which does RARP I believe). Any pointers to cheap software that can assign IP addresses to the PCs on our ethernet would be welcome. Greg O'Sullivan (gjocc@csv.viccol.edu.au)
