Yeah, Just as I had thought. (by client, I meant ROM on LAN card)

For the HTTP part, I have been following what happened with gpxe and how the HTTP client code is now part of pxelinux itself. etc. etc. :) :)

Not to digress, but I asked that question "just to be sure" :) :)

As usual, eagerly (and patiently) waiting for the HTTP bits to start working properly! ;) :)
