Boot Win95 machine off network

Comment:
Is there a way to remotely boot a Win95 machine off the network. I cannot find this machine and want the person using it to have to call the helpdesk. The userid they are using is used by a bunch of people so I cannot really restrict it. There are no shared folders on it. Please help.

The only way I know how to do this is to have a boot-prom on the NIC card and then boot the machine into MS-DOS. I used to do this on Novell Netware (diskless workstations) and it worked fine .. executed the Netware Login Script and executed a Netware menu. I don't think you can do this on a peer-to-peer network or any flavor of NT (although I could be wrong). Any flavor of Windows that I know about is machine (hardware specific relative to the desktop environment), and this changes with every boot/reboot.
I'll be interested if anybody else comes up with a workable solution, though. Good luck.
