You're sure there's no BOOTP stuff for Windows, too?  Anyway, I'm fairly
familiar with bootp and I can send some sample config files if anyone
wants them.  It's pretty easy.  I made a program once that would sniff
your local network and generate a bootp config file based on the current
settings of each machine on your LAN, but now I can't remember where it
is... :)
