Add the University of Maryland to the list of Universities that use
bootp for PCs.  Our public workstation labs use it with RFC1048
extensions to provide information for the TCP/IP for the PC that we use
here.  We currently use a bootp server per subnet so we don't have to
worry about gateways forwarding requests although our bootp server
(based on CMU's with local additions) does have forwarding capabilities. 
We'd also be interested in having more vendors (particularly Proteon)
support bootp forwarding
