Sun stopped developing Streams ages ago and is keeping it
around only for backwards compatibility. You should consider
rewriting you code using BSD sockets as it will increase
future portability.
That said, of you still need to use streams, try iBCS first.
It allows you to run most Solaris x86 binaries unmodified
on Linux x86.

Linux Streams (LiS) is also available, but I'm not sure
if it's usable for production quality code and question
its compatibility with future linux kernel developments.
