The page at

	http://www1.math.luc.edu/~anca/488-8.html

says in its discussion of 802.2 LLC:

	SABME supports 128 sequence numbers.

which suggests that's how basic vs. extended is selected; however, as
noted in this discussion, if you don't have the SABME frame in your
capture, the analyzer program has no way of knowing whether it's basic
or extended operation.
