- I am seeking information on how to setup the bootp-server.configuration file
- for use with Kermit(TCP). We are using asynch kermit now and have been
- experimenting with the TCP option. It is the right price...free! Kermit has
- an option to boot under TCP without knowing its IP number using BOOTP. I am
- currently trying to get this to work but I just really dont understand exactly
- what I must have in the configuration file to get this to work. I have the
- RFC's on Bootp and they gave me some ideas but as of yet I dont have it working.
-
- I am hoping someone else out in netland has done this and is willing to share
- how they configured Multinet and Kermit to get it to work.
-
- If you dont mind placing the IP number in the configuration file KERMIT/TCP
- seems to work very well with Multinet I just dont want to do this in our
- environment unless I have no other options.
