DHCP/BOOTP help

Thanks to Sebastian Benoit for suggesting the Internet Software

downloaded and configured this after briefly skimming over the

documentation.

Thanks also to Mike Carney and Dave Miner at east.sun.com for directing me

to the correct sun manual (TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration

Guide). I suspect that with this manual and the experience using the ISC

version I should be able to quickly configure the Sun version of dhcp with

bootp.
