For complete information on 802.2 LLC, as the IEE envisioned it, I think you need to get the 802.2 standard itself from the IEEE. I always refer to them as "802.3" and "Bluebook" (from the DEC-Intel-Xerox "Blue Book" which was the original Ethernet standard). Some other people refer to them as "Ethernet" and "802.3", but I feel that is confusing to the neophyte. (It is kind of rough on someone who has just read his first "LANs are Great" article when you say "Ethernet and 802.3 really are different, trust me...".) jbvb
