[comp.protocols.misc] IEEE 802.2 and Microsoft Lan Manager NETBEUI protocol

Where can I find a simple/good description of 802.2.  I have the IEEE spec
but it's like reading gibberish in places.

Is 802.2 what Microsoft NETBEUI uses for it's lowest layer ontop of MAC
layers?

Yes, it is (Class 1 for datagram services and Class 2 for NetBIOS sessions).
Source and destination SAPs are 0xF0.
