Actually, as of early June, Network General now supports, in addition:

     AppleTalk 2.0 protocol decodes
     TokenTalk     (AppleTalk over TRN)
     LocalTalk     (e.g. 230 Kbs HW, with AppleTalk protocols).

These extensions were announced jointly during Apple's networking rollout.
Unfortunately this seems to have been totally lost in the attention to
Apple's new offerings!
