    Does anybody have/know of a bootp server for PC's using the packet driver

The CMU bootpd could be ported to any development environment that provided
a 4bsd socket library (all the commercial DOS and OS/2 TCP/IPs do so).  I
don't know of anyone who has done so.

    how about ping?

PC-IP is the only freeware that I'm sure has a PING.  Our commercial PC/TCP
has a PING, too.  If a package doesn't reply to PINGs, it is not acceptable
in most of the Internet, so they all do, so far as I know.
    
    Where can I get the packet driver interface spec?

Anonymous FTP to vax.ftp.com, look in pub/packet-d.*.  v1.09 is current.
