Both Xerox and the IEEE consider it their obligation to protect the identity of the name of an entity which has been assigned 6 byte manuf. ids or 2 byte Ethertypes. They have ignored suggestions that at least they put a "check mark" on their application form, indicating\ that they are authorized to "release" this information. In the meantime, I would appreciate hearing from the "owners" of these manuf ids, seen on various nets: 00001b 000086 0000a9 0000b3 080001 080003 080019 08002e 080036 080036 080046 080067 080087 080090 They ARE shipping hardware, hence ought not be shy about keeping their intentions secret any longer!! Tnx in advance.............. Harry (415) 965-1800 (Network General Corp.)

If anyone can identify those manufacturer IDs, we'd like to hear about them too (they aren't in LANWatch's parser either...). James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.
