Recently, our SE provided us with a copy of bootp which had been
ported internally by HP staff and made available to users publicly.

We've made the proper changes to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services
to include bootp and created a few entries in the file /etc/bootptab.

Currently, we've been trying to have a HP-vectra running ncsa-telnet
use the bootp to determine ip address and domain name servers and such.

We have verified that a connection is being initiated since a bootpd
process is created, but the Vectra fails by apparently timing out.

Any insights about "required parameters" in bootptab and other helpful
hints would be greatly appreciated.
