	We are integrating a number of PC's onto our building-wide Ethernet.
We are using NCSA Telnet as the user platform on the PC's, but do not want
to get stuck in the position of having to install an individual configuration
file on each PC.  We also do not want to have users swapping the config
files with each other, thus misdirecting us as to which user logged onto
which PC did what.  (I.E., for security reasons, we want each PC to have
one Internet number assigned to it).

	On the side of the larger systems, we currently have 4 VAXes of
various sizes running VMS and a number of UNIX systems, (SUN, Apollo, Plexus).
would like to have RARP on at least one of these systems so we can keep
a centralized database of Ethernet to Internet number conversions.

	Any pointers to a RARP server would be greatly appreciated.
