GCom was the company putting human resources into finishing this up,
but I think Caldera paid them for it. Anyway, the pointers are:

ftp://ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/streams-3-31-97/

which has a version for kernel 2.0.25

ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/stuff

which has a version for 2.0.24


I wish GCom would "push" its existence a bit more, they seem new in the
Linux arena and not aware of facilities such as c.o.l.a
