Dear Xuhui,

as I suspected in my earlier mail, Solaris is currently not supported
for the socketapi library.

Thomas, can you comment on whether or not is is feasible to port
the socketapi to Solaris ?

However, I suspect that it does not really make sense to spend
a whole lot of time for a Solaris port, since Solaris will support
SCTP in the kernel. See http://playground.sun.com/sctp/

Best regards,
Andreas
