What, exactly, is that? I The "Blue Book" is the ethernet spcefication published by DEC, Intel, and XEROX. It's correct title is "The Ethernet; A Local Area Network, Data Link Layer and Physical Layer Specifications" The latest copy I have is dated November 1982 and reflects version 2.0 of the specification. -- --Dan Ehrlich The Pennsylvania State University, Computer Science Department 333 Whitmore Laboratory, University Park, PA 16802 +1 814 863 1142
