Since V.3 has a standard TLI package, TWG uses it rather than the home-rolled
version they had in the pre-Streams release for the 3B2.  The '386 port on
the AT&T box, at least, has a 3N section in the programmers' reference for
the TLI calls, and I seem to recall seeing TLI mentioned in the networking
extensions for Microport's 386 port as well, though I have no idea about
the conformance of calls.  I would expect (hope?) that the various TLI
implementations are using the SVr3 syntax (I don't know if this stuff has
been incorporated as yet into the SVID).
