From the announcement of AIX Version 2.2, dated 2-Feb-88:

	BSD Sockets interface has been added as well as enhancements to 
	compatibility with BSD System Calls and BSD libraries.

	AIX/RT system call and library interfaces have been enhanced to
	be more compatible with the BSD system calls and BSD libraries.
	This includes the BSD system call parameters as well as interfaces
	not previously supported by AIX. 

	Some of the specific enhancements include TCP/IP remote functions,
	MAIL, remote login, recursive copy, I/O device parameters, and
	open file parameters.

AIX/RT version 2.2 is available 24-Jun-88 (in the US, at least). I assume
that you're running AIX 2.1 currently. I don't recognize "TLI".
