I have a bootp server running now.  If anyone is interested in trying it
out let me know.  There's a very slight hack in it I'd like to get rid
of before ftp-ing it to agate for general consumption.

I sent a couple of posts related to the SIOCGIFCONF and OSIOCGIFCONF
ioctl functions for sockets but got no replies.  I'll ask one more time
if *ANYBODY* out there can show me the details of the structures these 2
functions return.  On other systems they seem to be synonymous, but on
386BSD they definitely are not, and the "non-O" version seems to return
garbage (compared to what I *think* it should be returning.).

Anyway, if you want to try out the bootp server send me mail at
linkt@groupw.cns.vt.edu

Thanks... Tim
