It's easy to detect: just see if the first OID returned on a
get-next of the fddi subtree is { transmission 15 1 ... } or
{ transmission 15 73 1 ... }.

I'm surprised to see the 7.3 MIB placed under { transmission 15 }.
This makes it difficult for a MS to detect if an agent supports
the 6.2 or the 7.3 MIB. In addition, if one uses a MIB browser, and
one has both 6.2 and 7.3 equipment, the 2 MIB's overlap in the browser.
Since the name space in the MIB tree is infinite, why not place the
2 MIB's under seperate branches.
