                        OPENSS7 for STREAMS README
                        ++++++++++++++++++++++++++


    Welcome to the OpenSS7 package for LiS STREAMS.
    
    This is a Beta release and is fully operational.  It provides a
    fully operational (and RFC 2960 conforming) Stream Control Transmission
    Protocol (SCTP) implementation on STREAMS running on LiS (Linux STREAMS).
    This is a fully operation Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
    stack with TPI and NPI interface.

    The purpose for this release is to release a Linux 2.4.x version of the
    OpenSS7 SCTP stack.  This release also provides several bug fixes over
    previous releases.  It adds no features.

    For more information on the STREAMS design approach for OpenSS7, see the
    website at http://www.openss7.org/.

    You will find INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS in the top-level directory (along
    with this file) in the file named "INSTALL".  You will find the
    licensing terms (GPL) in the file named "LICENSE".  The Linux Software
    Map entry is in the file LSM.

    For an example of how to (or perhaps how no to) write user-level
    applications, see the test programs in the strsctp-0.8.2/test/
    directory.  For more information, see the SCTP documents in the
    strsctp-0.8.2/doc/ directory.
