Once when I was curious (and very bored) I tracked a couple of them 
down.  One was a Windows XP machine and the other was a fairly new 
D-Link router/firewall CPE (which we have hundreds on our network).  I 
don't know if either of them support Bootp but I would expect this 
problem to come up more often if that was the case.  I'm trying to think 
of what our customers would have on our edges that would support Bootp. 
  Nothing comes to mind.  I'm sure you can configure some older clients 
to do Bootp of course (Macs still support it if you intentionally 
configure it that way) but no major demographic comes to mind.  I can 
certainly be missing something though.
