I am using NCSA Telnet V2.2D and 2.2TN downloaded from the Clarkson
archive-server. In CONFIG.TEL, you can specify "myip=rarp" and have
NCSA do a Reverse ARP to determine the IP address from its ethernet
address. We have a SunOS4 machine doing RARPD service.
The problem is, this doesn't seem to work when "hardware=packet" in
CONFIG.TEL - namely NCSA is using the TSR packet driver. I tried
this with 3C503 and NI5210 packet drivers on two machines. It
DOES work when using a direct interface, as "hardware=ni5210".
Is this a bug (heavens, no!)?
Also, what servers support BOOTP? Is it available for SunOS4?
Is this something developed for NCSA. I haven't seen it before.
