Finding out the format of IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP is easy. Everything else is difficult. I'd like to find out the technical specs for the following protocols: DECNET LAVC DECLAT NetBIOS NETBEUI Any leads would be appreciated. Ed Andrews ASK Inc. / Ingres Products Division eandrews.ingres.com

Harrison| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry LAT seems to have gotten into HP's hands, since they were able to write a decode package for their HP-4972A Lan Analyzer that can decode LAT Packets, as well as just about every other DEC packet type. Maybe it's proprietary so that another company can't make boxes that use the same packets, but anyone who has to fix a DEC net needs to know what the fields are, or the DEC portion of the problem will be almost impossible to solve. Not something DEC would like to have happen. I'd call up DEC and ask them. If they're no help, call HP and ask them how they did it. -- Andrew C. Esh andrew@osa.com Open Systems Architects, Inc.

Just don't expect to get them for free. -- And the bean-counter replied, | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology "beans are more important". | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
