- I have several baseband networks, all with remote boot. You can use the
- pcn2l ODI driver, or, you can use the IBM Lan Support Program and gen an IPX
- for it. We use the second solution when tcpip is required since odipkt does
- not work on broadband or baseband. Memory can be saved by dynamically
- loading and unloading the ibmtoken packet driver.

- Yep. Get rpl.nlm from IBM or Novell technical support.
- Sample autoexec.ncf might be:
- load pcn2l slot=5 frame=ibm_pcn2_802.2 name=baseband
- bind ipx to baseband net=1234
- load rpl
- bind rpl to baseband
-
- bootconf.sys, with extensions such as multiple images per node, is supported.
