Hold it!  There is a lot of difference between RFS and Streams.  I have
the SCO Streams Run-time which implements AT&T streams.  It does NOT provide
RFS.  On the 3B2/400s I administer, RFS is build on top of streams, but
just because you have streams does not mean that you have RFS.  

I understand the streams run-time will no longer be needed with SCO UNIX.  
The streams modules will be in the 3.2 kernel that you get from SCO.
