Just to sidetrack the original posting I have a slightly more general
quesiton : Is there somewhere a listing of what all the different
protocols are ? In Clifford Kite's reply he mentions RFC1552 and RFC2097
for 802b and 803f, but I happen to get a lot of 80fd's and every so often
I notice that people ask about other protocol numbers on this list.
It'd be nice if you didn't have to know about all RFCs to decode those
'Unsupported protocol' messages.
