Promless netbooting?





I'm build a lab of 30 diskless linux workstations and have as yet not
purchased any hardware.  We would like to avoid buying a $X00 PROM burner, 
individual proms, and the hassle of installing the proms.

Does anyone know of of any network cards with EEprom's that can
be programmed via software on a pc?  

Is it possible to boot linux on the motherboards that support
boot from LAN?  (I.e. on many new NLX/Micro ATX boards)

Any help appreciated, thanks (followup to the list or I'll
summarize).
