You are talking about TLI/XTI not STREAMS. Plenty of thickos
use TLI/XTI (often because a "manager" has decided it is "better"
- it isn't). Practically no one passes raw STREAMS message down
from an application unless they are talking to their own STREAMS
module that they ship with the app and that they have just pushed
on to the STREAMS head in question.
