it seems that Texinfo's @equiv is the same symbol as TeX's \equiv.
\equiv in plain TeX typesets a symbol which consists of three parallel
lines.
I used to use that symbol to typeset congruence, ie.
$ a \equiv b\ ({\rm mod}\ 6)$
was the statement which you'd express this way in C:
a % 6 == b % 6
Maybe other people use it to express another kind of equivalence, but
it doesn't mean the same thing as ``='' or ``==''.
Have a nice day,
Stepan
