    Haven't done it myself, but there are several projects around that do
    something similar. Try these URLs for help --

       http://www.ltsp.org/ Linux Terminal Server Project
       http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/xterminals/ Use Linux to make PCs XTerminals
       http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/ designed for a NIC boot PROM,
                                               but says it works from floppy too

    Hope this helps. Good luck.
