That is simply not true. Most of Sun's competitors at the time used an AT&T base augmented with STREAMS-based TCP/IP from Lachman or similar. I worked on one such. My colleagues at Sequent, Pyramid, Masscomp, etc. were all in essentially the same boat. NFS was the only commonly-included piece from Sun.
- hapless 7y agoIf you were using SVR4, you already had the AT&T/Sun TCP/IP, and the AT&T/Sun sockets interface in addition to the old SysV TLI. If you were using SVR3 or earlier, you may have needed extra stuff.
