What did you do? Do you have it working now. BTW: I was working on a fix for
8.1 to work, but to put it quite simply getting a 1 byte code from a memory
address seems to have a lot of people stumped. I'm not sure why.. All that
needs to be done is get the Address from say D0001 (I think) and move it to
an word 00:00:00:00:00:(Whatever)

Anyway, That's what I was working on before I lost it all in a crash,

BTW: the rest of the tftp and bootp/rarp works fine if you set the address
on the server to all zeros. but doesn't help if you have more then one
Client. :(

Due to the instability of Sympatico services, all email replies are sent to
alternate email accounts. I personally apologize to all correspondents if my
replies are delayed due to Sympatico's inability to provide a reliable

forward to using an alternative to Sympatico's dismal package for High Speed
access as soon as one becomes available to me.
