Tru64 5.1: t_open - manpage refers to files in /dev/streams/xtiso which are not there

I'm trying to track down a file for a developer.

Under Tru64 5.1, according the man page for t_open it states:

  name Identifies the transport provider. The transport provider must
            define the type of transport service (protocol) to associate
with
            the opened transport endpoint.

            [Tru64 UNIX] This implementation of XTI uses pathnames to
device
            special files to identify transport providers. The device spe-
            cial files corresponding to TCP or UDP transport providers
reside
            in the /dev/streams/xtiso directory. If you use a different
            transport provider, see its documentation for the correct device
            name.

But, the directories that I have are blank. I've checked the .inv files in
/usr/.smdb. on my system as well as ALPHA/BASE/instctrl off my CD. I can't
find any such "tcp*" or "udp*" files (let alone any others).

There is nothing in /dev/MAKEDEV that would create these.

I don't have XTISO compiled into my kernel. I was going to do that as my
next
step.

At this point, I'm at a loss as to #1) how do I make these files or #2)
install
these files. Or is the man page just wrong and there is some other thing
going
on here? Or if I put the XTISO kernel in place, these get created after
boot up?

Any insight would be appreciated.
