  Log:
  NBIPX packet type 3 appears to be the equivalent, in NBIPXland, of the
  NetBIOS Datagram Service in NBTland; a capture Gilbert sent had a pile
  of those packets containing what looked like SMB browser announcements,
  which are sent out as broadcast datagrams.  Label them as such, and
  treat them as such.
  
  Might packet type 2 be the equivalent of the NetBIOS Session Service -
  both of them contain SMBs, but the former is a connection-oriented
  service (LLC I frames, presumably, in NBF, and TCP in NBT), and the
  latter is a datagram-oriented service (LLC UI frames, presumably, in
  NBF, and UDP in NBT)?  For now, we leave type 2 as "SMB (over NBIPX)",
  but we might want to label it as "NetBIOS session" or whatever the
  appropriate term is.
