I agree. Sounds like somebody with access to both BSD & SVR3 would be
performing a great service by implementing a "sockets on top of STREAMS"
library and releasing it into the public domain or otherwise make it
readily available. I know that The Wollongong Group has already implemented
such a library for System V and is selling it (for big bucks?) thereby
demonstrating the feasibility of this approach.

Any takers?
