>Hello,

>I am trying to port our Solaris X86- based application for Linux (RedHat 
>ES 3.0, kernel 2.4.21), using LiS-2.18 package.
>Our application utilizes the Transport Provider Interface when 
>communicating with other network hosts.  It opens "/dev/tcp"
>(which is a stream device on Solaris) and then uses putmsg/getmsg to bind, 
>connect and subsequently talk to its peer on another host.
>Can you, please, advise how I can use the LiS to emulate this on Linux?
>The LiS documentation mentions the timod and tirdwr modules, but also 
>notes the lack of TPI support in the package.
>
>I appreciate any advice from you and thank you very much.

>Eugene.
