TLI can be implemented with emulation over sockets, but I don't know if all functionality will be available and the most important (Protocol Independence) probably will not. The only system I knew that had TLI without a *full* STREAMS kernel is SunOS 4.1. But SunOS already had a STREAMS capable kernel, although it was not used for TCP/IP networking core.
