I wish to thank the following people for responding to my request for
AppleTalk frame headers for the small network analyzer I'm writing.  Only one
person (thanx Scott Winders) sent me information more than "buy Inside
Appletalk", so my analyzer is fairly weak on Ethertalk breakdowns (ie it does
no breakdown of Ethertalk packets other than it is an Ethertalk packet).

For people that are interested in the program, it runs on the sun4c platform
under SunOS 4.1.x (Solaris 1.x).  It takes one argument (the number of
packets to grab) and generates a list of packets received (and decodes the
packets I've been able to find time and info to decode), and then generates
a packet breakdown.  It's a very simple program.  Time permitting, I will
continue to add packet decoding and some filtering ability.  People that
can send me some details about decoding Ethertalk packets will definately
get any updates I make to the program (call me cheap, but paying $40 for a
book that I only need a couple of tables out of is pointless - I don't need
to run an Appletalk net, I just need some general info).
