    .                    packet-rpc.c 
  Log:
  Register RPC as dissector for both TCP and UDP port 111 which is used by ONC-RPC/PORTMAPPER
  
  The reason for doing this is to allow a user to pick RPC as a protocol offered
  by DecodeAs...
  
  Why:
  If ethereal has tcp-reseembly enabled, the heuristic dissector for rpc will not even attempt to find RPC packets.
  If no PORTMAPPER/GETPORT are available either in the capture there is
  currently no way for ethereal to know/learn that the conversation is ONC-RPC.
  This at least will allow users to manually tell ethereal that such a conversation is ONC-RPC.
