Re: Fwd: LiS and TPI

Eugene,

The OpenSS7 (albeit GPL) release of LiS 2.18.1, strxns 0.9.2, strxnet 0.9.2,
strinet 0.9.2 and strsctp 0.9.2 provides full TPI Version 5 Release 2 access
to TCP, UDP, RAW and SCTP streams.  /dev/tcp is provided.  Also, a complete
XTI/TLI threadsafe library is provided.  The release is tested against WBEL
3.0 (amoung others) and a 2.4.21-15.EL kernel.

Due to a vocal negative view towards GPL software on this list, the release
is current only being made available by OpenSS7 to subscribers and sponsors
of the OpenSS7 project.  Contact me or mailto:[email protected] offlist for
more information about subscription.
