Hello brian,

Our Windows Streams based products WAN-X25 (PLP), OSI-WAN(TP02) are in use
for the last 10 years or so without any issues. These products are now
successfully ported and tested on:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 2)
KERNEL VERSION : 2.4.21-15.EL
with   LiS-2.18.0.tgz (from gcom.com) and XTI-0.7.tgz

We could do successful file transfers using FTAM protocol on top of these
drivers in  ES release 3.



Currently we are in process of testing the above drivers on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) (KERNEL VERSION :
2.6.9-22.EL).



As there is a binary compatibility problem between ES release 3 and ES
release  4 all the following steps (including compilation) are done on Red
Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) KERNEL VERSION :
2.6.9-22.EL.



  1.. Tried to compile LiS-2.18 and got some errors. Then as per the mail
received from Landey ( Delivery-Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2005 14:02:57 -0500) we
applied the patch, successfully compiled and installed the LiS-2.18.
  2.. Compiled and installed XTI-0.7
  3.. Compiled and installed our drivers (WAN-X25 and OSI-WAN)
  4.. Ran our (server and client) test applications (basically executes
xti/tli calls) on top of our drivers (tp02 and plp).
Though we could run our test application successfully there are some memory
leaks. Our observation is that the memory leak is happening whenever a call
goes to streams_timod (kernel log posted on..)



No such memory leaks are observed when tested on Red Hat ES release 3
(Taroon Update 2, KERNEL VERSION : 2.4.21-15.EL, with   LiS-2.18 and
XTI-0.7.tgz)



As we are about to take our drivers to production on ES release 4 an early
support to over come the problem is highly appreciated.



 regards,

kishore, packetware.
