- I worked on V.3.0 using 3b2 and 386 source releases. Both included STREAMS.
- (The hardware we put it on didn't have any non-STREAMS tty drivers.)
- Some of the stuff was pretty flakey (ldterm was called something else
- and wasn't very good) but STREAMS itself was certainly there.

-
- There was a 3.1 release on 3b2 only, no 386 version, we did our own port.
- I don't remember if there was a 3.2 on 3b2. Too long ago :-(
