[comp.sys.mac.comm] Booting up diskless Mac stations using AppleShare

Dear all,

I have had a rather big question that has gone through my mind in the many
years I have used Macs, and that is: "Why can't I remote boot a Macintosh
via AppleShare"??

We most have SE's and Mac IIcx's.  I have read an article in MacWeek which
stated that the next version of AppleShare {3.0 I believe} will allow you
to do that only on the new machines.  My question is why can't this be done
on the machines that already exist??  We have a large amount of money invested
in these machines and it is hard to just buy new ones for that the remote
boot privaledge.

If anyone can post or reply via e-mail {replying e-mail is preferred} regarding
why Apple has never given a easy way to remote boot a machine, or if their is
a product out their we can plus into our machines to remote boot, I would be
appreciate it.
