Our campus net includes one DEC LB100 lan bridge.  The LB100
sends a packet a second of type 8038 to ether multicast address
9:0:2b:1:0:1.  We don't have RBMS so we haven't a clue as to
what this is for.  The LB100 manual is no help, of course.

Is this normal for an LB100?  Do nets that have ten LB100s have
ten of these packets a second?  If we had RBMS, could we turn
this off?  Do folks that have RBMS think it worth while?

Thanks...                                         jim warner
