this is part of the solution, IMO ... best would be a way to present to the 
user WHAT protocols are available to them for a given network resource, which 
then leads us to how do we know what network resources (machines) are 
available to that user ... this is not equivalent to asking what is on their 
local network anymore.

this is a very difficult problem, really. and i really don't see it be 
completely solvable without cooperation from the network itself in the form 
of self-discovery or queryable network directories.
