Anselm, Grzesiek, as a matter of fact, remote boot *is* possible. Most
routers will pass all kinds of traffic if asked to do so, dhcp included.
The switches need to be coaxed into it too. It is'nt clear from Grzesiek's
post if he wants access over a slow link or not, but even a slow link is
possible, if not advisable. i tried it just for giggles over T1 and the
boot and subsequent session worked, but it was painfully slow. If it was
just between 2 separate networks connected at reasonable speed, say 100Tx,
it should work just fine. julius
