AltaVista comes through again!

A search for "VTP frame" found

	http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/trsrb/frames.htm

entitled "Frame Formats".  It *does* contain information on CDP frames,
as well as VTP frames; unfortunately, it doesn't say how those frames
are identified.

A search for the exact phrase "frame format" from

	http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/search.htm

found some other pages that might contain useful information.
