It's been removed. Only IPX/SPX and TCPIP exist.

I got ethereal today. Thanks for that suggestion - I'd been wanting
something like that and it frankly never occured to me that that kind of
software was available as open source.
I experimented several times today with different setup combo's. The
_only_ frame type I can use on the mars-nwe server that will result in
my win workstations being able to even see the novell servers is still
802.2. I found it interesting that I never saw any 802.2 frames with
ethereal - they were all 802.3. As I recall, when I setup mars for snap
frame types I still didn't see anything but 802.3 - although there
wasn't nearly as many. Ethereal runs on a linux desktop on the ethernet
network - I have no easy way to get it on the token network (presently
anyway). With 802.2 configured on mars-nwe I see plentiful references
to the mars server that exists on both the token and ethernet networks,
and both of the novell servers I have on the token network only.
Does any of this tell you anything?
Thanks Steve,
