Hi, Josh!

I'm not familiar with this, but I think it exists, and it's fairly highly 
developed.   Jim Dennis gave a quick talk about this at the last BayLISA 
meeting (but I wasn't paying attention -- sorry, Jim.)  You might want to 
start your research with "PXE".  This seems to be the PC-type thing that 
can boot over the network while still under control of the ROM.
