Hey guys:
Very interesting info here. Could someone please expand on this point
and please post an example of how to do this? What is tcpinfo?
Also, please explain what is meant by "real BOOTP", as opposed to psuedo
BOOTP or simulated BOOTP, or whatever other "non-real" kinds as may
exist. Please excuse me if my questions may seem ignorant or stupid.
I confess that I am very lacking in knowledge as to how BOOTP is supposed
to work. The only thing I think I know about BOOTP is that it is one of
several kinds of various processes by which an IP number may be
dynamically assigned.
