TI-RPC uses TLI/STREAMS rather than sockets. To make TI-RPC work, someone
first has to implement TLI/STREAMS in Linux (or FreeBSD, or NetBSD, or
OpenBSD, or whatever). Otherwise, you'd have to hack it to use only sockets,
and if you're going to do that you may as well just use the socket-based
RPC 4.0 anyway.
