Thanks to the both of you, rbootd was indeed the answer. No IPX
anywhere to be seen, I should spend more time trying to understand
tcpdump :-/

There's a (very old but working after minor patching) sun-rbootd 
package on the web, that works fine on Solaris 7, if anyone is
interested.

I have now two HP ready to run, one 710 (64 MB Ram, dual 420 MB disks)
and one 715 (56 MB Ram, 2 GB disk). If there's any need to test
stuff on these platforms, feel free to ask (but it's unlikely
I'll find much free time except maybe on Saturday/Sunday).

thanks for the help,
