Is there anything that would make a program running on a System V Release 3 machine, using TLI, to communicate with a program running on a machine using Sockets? -- Robert -- Robert Claeson, System Administrator, PVAB, Box 4040, S-171 04 Solna, Sweden eunet: robert@pvab uucp: sun!enea!pvab!robert

Perhaps I have misunderstood the question, but... Sockets and TLI are both local mechanisms used for allowing processes to talk to the network. If both are speaking TCP, then you can not tell, but looking at the network traffic, whether one is using sockets or TLI or anything else. However, the two programs which are talking, one using sockets and the other TLI may be very different. Now, if you question really was: "I have a program written to use Berkeley sockets but I want to run it on a SVR3 machine which only has streams, what can I do?" Then the answer is that some people who are "heavy into Streams/TLI" have written libraries on top of TLI which make it look like sockets. The inverse operation, making sockets look like TLI is probably not possible without adding a bit of functionality to sockets. /mtr
