DHCP Help
So I'm trying to work with a Linux box that was designed by a group of people who are no longer around and I'm having difficulty getting into the box. The board has an ethernet port and two serial ports, but it doesn't look like there is a getty service running on either serial port which leaves the ethernet port for interface.

The problem is that they have the board set up to use DHCP so I can't figure out how to set it up so that I can telnet to it. Can anyone help me with this? I'm pretty good with routing protocol but I've never really worked with DHCP on a technical level. I'm trying to interface with it using a laptop running Ubuntu.

Thanks

push

PUSH(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   PUSH(8)

NAME

     push -- fetch mail via POP

SYNOPSIS

     push [-5 | --krb5] [-v | --verbose] [-f | --fork] [-l | --leave] [--from] [-c | --count] [--headers=headers] [-p port-spec |
	  --port=port-spec] po-box filename

DESCRIPTION

     push retrieves mail from the post office box po-box, and stores the mail in mbox format in filename.  The po-box can have any of the follow-
     ing formats:
	   'hostname:username'
	   'po:hostname:username'
	   'username@hostname'
	   'po:username@hostname'
	   'hostname'
	   'po:username'

     If no username is specified, push assumes that it's the same as on the local machine; hostname defaults to the value of the MAILHOST environ-
     ment variable.

     Supported options:

     -5, --krb5
	     use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)

     -f, --fork
	     fork before starting to delete messages

     -l, --leave
	     don't delete fetched mail

     --from  behave like from.

     -c, --count
	     first print how many messages and bytes there are.

     --headers=headers
	     a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.

     -p port-spec, --port=port-spec
	     use this port instead of the default 'kpop' or '1109'.

     The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that fails, Kerberos 4.

ENVIRONMENT

     MAILHOST
	     points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.

EXAMPLES

	   $ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box

     tries to fetch mail for the user roosta from the post office at ``cornfield'', and stores the mail in ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box (you are using
     Gnus, aren't you?)

	   $ push --from -5 havregryn

     tries to fetch From: lines for current user at post office ``havregryn'' using Kerberos 5.

SEE ALSO

     from(1), pfrom(1), movemail(8), popper(8)

HISTORY

     push was written while waiting for movemail to finish getting the mail.
