I would like to get a list of ethernet protocol numbers.  That is, the
two octets after the destination and source fields in an ethernet
packet. I recall something about IEEE 802.3 using it as a length field
but fortunately ethernet protocol numbers are illegal lengths so they
get along ok. Anyway, is the only way to get this info to write to
Xerox or is it online somewhere? thanks
