Hi,

I have an x-terminal that needs to connect to a DEC 3000/500
via tftp/bootp in order to download all of the the stuff it needs when
I turn it on.

My network connection is active(I can ping the x-terminal).

I have setup the x-terminal according to its instructions.

I have attempted to setup bootp/tftp on the Alpha, but obviously
I am not doing it correctly since I get a tftp access error code 2
when the x-terminal tries to connect.

I have read the man pages on bootp , bootptab and tftp, but I must
admit I do not understand them.

I would greatly appreciate a set of detailed steps that I must carry out
in order to get the x-terminal to access the files via this mechanism.

Thanks,

John Boccio
