  20. HP has just released a separate STREAMS/UX product.  It requires HP-UX 9.x.
  21. It includes the basic STREAMS framework, a generic TLI interface, and
  22. DLPI to HP's Ethernet/802.3 and Token Ring/802.5 network interface
  23. cards.
  24.  
  25. The STREAMS/UX product does NOT provide a STREAMS-based implementation
  26. of pipes and fifos, TCP/IP, or terminal I/O.
