Do we have MOP images for (any of) them?
Is did Peter "donate" or "lend" them to UCC?
If they go out there, the three-button-mouse-thief is sure to strike.

It depends - does the MOPd MOP to all cards, or does it "bind" to an
interfact, or what?

Probably. If not, bootp, which is more or less DHCP with fixed addresses :)
