If you are running a pure ATT SVR2.1 on a 3b5 forget it.  The answer I
have gotten time and time again from ATT is upgrade to a 3b15 and get 
WIN/3B from us.  I have now been waiting almost a year for this
magickal feat to take place.  It is now scheduled for the first 
week in Feb.  

If you have a 3b2 you can get the STREAMS version under 5.3 from ATT.
Unfortunatly, although TWG wrote it they are under an exclusive
marketing contract with ATT.  The 3b2 version I have ( non-STREAMS)
works reasonably well, but it requires a host table and we are a
domain based operation.  Oh well.

Hope this helps.
