No, Release 3 and above.

>have a new machanism known as streams.  This works across networks.

No, streams itself doesn't work across networks.  Streams isn't really
an IPC mechanism in and of itself; it's a framework atop which IPC
mechanisms can be built, some of which (e.g., TCP/IP, ISO protocols,
etc.) work across networks.
