Hi

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it was getting kind of lonely talking
to myself. ;-)

I've managed to get one booted by using the tftp protocol from a Sun box.
The downloads previously mentioned had the following files in them, which is
what I placed in the tftpboot folder on the Sun node and it seems to
download and boot the image okay. Then I can connect to it.
oper.42.enet
oper.52.enet
oper.55.enet

It was bought from ebay. I know it's no longer supported, but I expect a lot
of people have used them over the years and hopefully someone can help me
out.

I wish to use it as a terminal concentrator for some Sun Boxes.

How do I find out which model it is. On the front it has written "Bay
Networks Micro ANNEX XL". Model and part numbers are in the first message.
Where I work have a couple of these that are able to boot from themselves.

I would like to get the TC to boot from itself. How can I find out if this
particular one has a flash rom for storing the boot rom. If it is possible,
how can I download the boot image to it and set it up to load from itself.

Thanks for your help.
