I am running bootpd 2.4.3 with the static dhcp extensions, and it
works fine so far.

I have been asked by the PC folks to configure primary and secondary
WINS servers for Win95 clients.  The required syntax of the entry in
the bootptab seems pretty clear from the man page:

	:Tnnn=0x12345678:\

where 12345678 is the hex IP address.  But I need to know what are the
tags used.  Or at least that is what I believe.

Right now I need the values, but I would love a pointer to where I can
get answers to other Microsoft specific details.

Many thanks.

Mohamed
