You shouldn't be. Most vendors quietly bypassed the STREAMS stack
for TCP/IP by allowing calls straight into the underlying provider
modules for socket operations. If you really want a laugh trace
the system calls that a typical libnsl generates for a simple
TLI/XTI connect or listen/accept operation. It's, ah, "impressive" :-).
