	In Sun's Remote Procedure Call Programming Guide, you'll find the right
information (I have no idea why it wasn't included in the RFC).  It says:

	``To register a protocol specification, send a request by network mail
	to rpc@sun [sic], or write to:

		RPC Administrator
		Sun Microsystems
		2550 Garcia Ave.
		Mountain View, CA 94043

	Please include a compilable ".x" file describing your protocol.  You
	will be given a unique program number in return.''

P.S.	That's RFC 1057, not 1157.
