Macintosh Clients and Novell Frame Types

What frame type is used by Macintosh computers interacting with a Novell Netware server using AppleTalk?
Novell Netware servers support four different frame types for Ethernet cards. These frame types and their associated protocols are as follows:

Frame Type          Protocols
----------          ---------
EtherNet_802.2      IPX/SPX, and FTAM
Ethernet_802.3      IPX/SPX
Ethernet_II         IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk Phase I
Ethernet_SNAP       IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk Phase II

Except in rare cases where AppleTalk Phase I is still in use, Netware administrators will want to bind Ethernet_SNAP to the server's Ethernet card servicing Macintosh clients.
