I don't follow you. To use bootp with MSK say SET TCP ADDRESS BOOTP.
To use Kermit over ODI please see the release docs for example NET.CFG files.
IPXODI is Novell-only; it is not part of ODI though it uses ODI the same as
Kermit does. A NetWare server or any other IP router carrying bootp requests
off the local wire requires a bootp helper to route the request and the
response; see netlab2.usu.edu, cd misc.
