Nope:  Cray is still distributing the Wollongong mess with Unicos.
My understanding is that their new tcp/ip will be derived from BSD4.3
code, and that they have no plans to make streams available any time
in the forseeable future.

At the same time, I've heard that the Bell Labs XMP is running streams
and that they've implemented a streams-based tcp/ip.
