OK. I have been following this wondering if anyone remembers the thread earlier in the spring/summer about the port of Novell Netware to Linux by Caldera. Netware uses streams and unfortunately one of the engineers from Caldera snitted about streams support in the kernel. Twas a bad spree.
A user/module based STREAMS would be just the ticket for supporting Netware under Linux. Much better than the current patch the kernel for streams method. As I end up doing much work integrating Netware and Linux (Netware 5.0 is awesome in combination with Linux management!!) it would be nice to be able to use Caldera's Netware for Linux on the new kernels.
Anyway - 1. Novell Portable Netware 4.10b uses STREAMS.
