PROTOS is indeed amazing, and the people developing it even more. They 
are fuzzing crazy! :)
However, as far as I understand it PROTOS is not strictly a fuzzer.

If I got this right, in their development labs the guys do a lot of 
fuzzing, find viable ways of attacking applications implementing a 
certain protocol and add it to their PROTOS engine much like anyone 
would a NESSUS plugin.

So, it is extremely useful, extremely fast, but if I don't get it wrong 
it is not strictly a fuzzer but rather the front-end to what a good 
fuzzer already found in other implementations of the same type.
