Hi all,

I am currently using DHCP to set up TCP/IP information on people's PDAs at school. I would like to extend that functionality and use DHCP to convey also the name of a time server, and ftp server, authentication and SMTP server, and some other extra information useful to configure all PDAs used in the class. Is that possible? Any experience with that before? any info and/or similar situation? I'll appreciate any help.

Regards,
