I'm still on my quest to find some method of booting my NCD X Window
terminal from an Esix system. For those who haven't heard of my
trouble, Esix's tftpd does not handle binary (octet) mode transfers,
which results in a corrupted executable being transferred to the
terminal.
I've ftp'd the tftpd sources from the bsd-sources archive on uunet,
but that version seems to need to be spawned from inetd. So, I
downloaded the source to inetd. I have both programs compiled, but I
can't seem to get them to work together.
I'd try to compile bootp, and boot the terminal that way, but I don't
think ESIX can respond to a reverse arp (I couldn't find SIOC?ARP
defined in <lan/net_ioctl.h>).
If anyone has source to a stand alone version of tftpd (or if someone
at ESIX has a patch or a replacement binary for their version of
tftpd) I'd really appreciate it.
