It was the entire LiS implementation. I just looked through the patch and
it seems the putpmsg, getpmsg, poll syscalls are defined along with a
whole pile of assembly code. I do not know the extant of the patching only
that it was written specifically for 2.0.34 (and later 2.0.35). If I had
to guess bearing on the way Netware works I would say they implemented
both low-level STREAMS and TLI.
