It's been a while since I fooled 'round with bootp, so I -may- be mistaken... but we'll get to that in a minute. 'Less I'm mistaken, DHCP is really just a superset of bootp. So your comment, above, is mistaken, but it's mistaken (unless I'm missing something pretty obvious) on two fronts: 1) It would conflict, anyway, since they're on the same port, and 2) Are you sure you want to be using bootp and/or dhcp on the same subnet as your ISP? How would your client host even get an IP? It's pretty unlikely -- unless your ISP is pretty generous -- that you've got multiple IPs with which to play... and even then, if you did, you'd most likely be on your own subnet, in which case DHCP/bootp broadcasts won't get past the router, anyway.
