If somebody wants a free-standing complete DCE RPC implementation (as you note, Ethereal's DCE RPC code only knows how to dissect DCE RPC PDUs and call/response stubs, it's not a real implementation of DCE RPC), and the OS doesn't come with one (modern versions of Windows come with one, as might some commercial UN*Xes - I think it's available as an add-on for at least some of them), there's:

	DCE RPC 1.1, under a non-GPL license:

	DCE RPC 1.2.2, under the LGPL:
