The device list displays all of the devices that the Bootp Server will send
boot response packets. This list is taken from the bootptab file. If a device
entry was added using this utility, then it can also be modified and removed
with this utility. The device list can be modified by selecting an option from
the Device List menu under the File menu.

This Bootp Server can be used to send boot responses to devices that send
boot requests on power up. In order to have the Bootp Server send a
response, the device needs to be entered into the Device List. Once there is
an entry for a device, the Bootp Server will respond to the boot request with
the appropriate information in a boot response.

MonarchNet receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP
address in the ping packet as its own address.

To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or
