I used it for a time with bootp to load it's software off of FreeBSD 2.0R however now it is booting off of flash card and only loads IP from bootp. I have eBones compiled into my FreeBSD system and validate kerberos password/usernames on the terminal server using that method. the software on the terminal server supports slip/ppp with appletalk, tcp/ip and ipx support in the ppp. also supports kerberos cleartext validation or kerberos validation in pap or chap mode or non-kerberos (one password for all) pap authentication, I wrote a daemon to gather logging info off of port 1 on the server and toss it into syslogd using a null-modem cable. supports 115.2 kbps per port with an aggregate or something 200 or 250 kBps (kBYTES/sec) so you can support full speed on all ports with 33.2 kbps modems.
