I will be connecting several different types of systems to an 
ethernet network that is currently running only Netware on ipx.  On 
the Netware server and workstations it is necessary to specify the 
Ethernet frame type.  IPX is running either Ethernet_802.2 or 
Ethernet_803.2.  The Novel books say that the TCP/IP has to run on 
Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP.  In reading the FAQs, HOWTOs and the 
Linux Network Administrator's book I don't recall any mention of 
specifying the frame type.  

     What is the standard type used?  Is there really a question in 
the UN*X world as to which standard to use?  It will also be 
necessary to setup and run a BSD box so that question will also have 
to be addressed but I figure that most of the world must be running 
on one of the particular standards.  Like they say the wonderful 
thing about standards is that there are so many to chose from.
