ONC/RPC is what Sun implemented.  And pretty much 
every one else.  The O'Reilly book on "Power 
Programming with RPC" is based on the Sun implementation
IIRC.

I was under the impression that each transport 
layer would have its own endport mapper.  For example,
a dce/rpc over SMB would listen on port 139 (or 445 
depending).  A dce/rpc over TCP would listen on 
another published port.
