It is. I'm using it here, and I'm very happy with it. I've some DOS
machines connected to our Ethernet and all of them get their relevant
IP protocol information from a FreeBSD machine.
Don't want to RTFM you, but try the following man pages to get useful
information (it's just too much to explain here and you already have
it on your machine :-) )
bootpd
bootptab
If you run into troubles while configuring your /etc/inetd.conf or
something like that, feel free to drop a note and I'll try to help
you, okay?
Bye,
Martin
