Using PROTOCOL
 LAN drivers automatically register IPX; other protocol stacks register
themselves.
 For approved protocol loadable modules, consult your reseller. For the
protocol name, check the documentation that comes with the protocol
module.
 LAN drivers automatically register a frame type when they are loaded. If
the LAN driver supports more than one frame type, the frame type is
registered when you load the driver with that frame type.
Additional Information

It is only necessary to use PROTOCOL
REGISTER in unusual cases, such as when
using a new media.
protocol Specify the protocol name.
frame Specify the name representing the frame type
that is to be bound to the communication

This number is a unique, assigned
hexadecimal number that tells the server how

communication protocol (such as IPX

).
