This is the NSEL for NSP (the DECnet Phase IV transport).  It is a constant in
the DECnet Phase V architecure.  (ie. NSP is always 32).  So for those of you
who have network protocol analyzers, if you see an NSAP with last octet being
a hex 20, use NSP decoder to interpet the rest of the packet.


|>#define DECPHIVNsapSel      33			  /* DECnet Phase IV PDU */

DECnet Phase V defaults OSI Transport to 33 though you are allowed to change it
to any value except 0, 1, and 32.
