So I finally have my DECServer 300 in my grubby little hands, and now I
need software for it. I checked Cabletron's site, and the closest they
have is Terminal Server Manager in a VMS saveset - which may include the
boot file, but is entirely worthless to me as I no longer have access to
anything VMSey. I assume that NetBSD's MOPd can deliver the file, if it
exists - but I'm not sure. I get this from mopd when I turn on the
DECServer 300:

MOP DL 802.3 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   32 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 802.3 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   32 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 802.3 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   32 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 802.3 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   32 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   24 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   24 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   24 code 08 RPR
MOP DL 8:0:2b:19:8f:4e   > ab:0:0:1:0:0      len   24 code 08 RPR

The ethernet address shown is the DECServer, I assume ab:0:0:1:0:0 is a
broadcast address? What does RPR mean? Port 1 on the server says that
it's looking for it's load host [ISO8802], then again [ETHERNET], and
when both fails, it pauses for 2^failures seconds, then tries again.
Once I get the boot file, where do I put it? /tftpboot/mop?

Many thanks advance to anyone who can supply the file/info requested!
