Is there an approved way to test for A/UX?

Eudora has long been incompatible with it, and I found out why today;
A/UX barfs at me if I call TcpSend with more than a few (8 is too many,
4 is ok) WDS entries.  Since MacOS hasn't any problem with 50, I'm very reluctant to limit myself to only 4.  So, I need to know if A/UX is running.

I have neither an A/UX system nor A/UX manuals, and I can't find the answer
in IM or the Technotes.  Help, please?

I would vastly prefer an answer that did NOT involve Gestalt, since it's
verboten for me to have documentation or glue for such a macho trap.
