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
