just couldnt resist, but
NFS/NLM/MOUNT/STAT when they count the number of dissectors they have, do
they
actually count the dissectors they have for these protocols as that these
protocols are supported?
Honestly, ethereal is the _only_ tool with proper NFSfamily dissection.

NDMP/iSCSI are two other protocols I would imagine would be very interesting
for people at connectathon.

sniffer is not a packet/protocol analyzer. ethereal is.

I guess you did a lot of advocasy for ethereal while you were there? :-)
But i would assume, most _protocol implementors_ already use ethereal as the
tool of choice?
