    Surely bootp can be made to recognize a serial line
    address as well as it does an ethernet address...

Well, ethernet addresses are supposed to be unique in the world, so
that the mapping from ethernet address to IP address is also unique.
Is there any software readable equivilent for PCs?  Say, something
like the serial number combined with the computer type ?
