I will soon have to port applications using the TLI interface, but our unix only has the socket interface for TCP/IP. I'd like to know : 1) if anybody has already met the problem and how it has been solved. 2) if anybody has written a version for TLI based on sockets. Thanks for all hints !

NCR Unix machines run a Sys V kernel and therefore use TLI for their transport drivers. The implementation of BSD sockets available for them is simply a library that makes TLI calls. I cant give you the source, but it shouldnt be to hard to write this "library". Bobby

This answer makes me think that my question was not clear enough, because what you mention is exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for, ie an implementation of TLI interface calling BSD sockets !
