Please update the capabilities table as follows.

Capabilities Encoding

Novell likes the idea of GDS style encoding scheme and not a bit 
setting scheme.

CUR Suppression

This feature allows a DLSw to generate CUR frames but request that 
none be sent to it. 

An example of using this is when a data center has a bridged token 
ring network with hosts and CUs attached and a DLSw connection out 
to a field office. The field office CU issues TEST frames and hence 
the field office DLSw issues CUR frames. The data center CUs do the 
same (i.e. issue TEST frames) and this result in CUR frames being 
sent to the field office by the data center DLSw. 

Suppression of CUR would stop this host - field office traffic.
