Here are several 802.2 issues I could use some help with. Any info
would be appreciated:

1) The 1985 IEEE 802.2 standard book says that "A number of LSAP code
points have been identified for particular uses. A list of these code
points can be obtained from the IEEE standards office". Does anyone
have a list of these handy?

2) I know informally about the SAP "AA", which goes with a SNAP
discriminator. Is "AA" one of these code points? Where can I find a
formal description of the "AA" SAP and SNAP?

3) What SNAPs have been defined to date?

4) Is there any public domain Unix software for 802.2 monitoring on a mixed
ethernet/tcp-ip and 802.2/802.3 lan. I regularly use tcpdump, nnstat,
nfswatch, and etherfind on a Sun to monitor the ethernet traffic, but
don't have a good way to sort out the 802.2 traffic at the same time.
