My problem with tftpd running on a system with four network interfaces is
solved! I received a number of helpful answers from the list (thanks to you
all!) but it was Digital that found the answer. There is a patch for tftpd
when using aliased interfaces that also solves this problem. The patch I
received is called OSF320-200.
