My experience is mostly with HP-UX 8.X, 9.X, and 10.X with some Sun
Solaris thrown in. To answer your question they all have C2
compliant or accredited modes. HP-UX 9.x was compliant, where HP-UX
10.X is in the process of being accredited. The TCP/IP isn't
a big concern at the C2 level. At B1 or B2 it is much more of
a concern. Then you start talking about Max-6 which is beyond this
discussion (I hope :-).

I have heard/read that NT has actually been C2 accredited. There is some
documentation on Microsofts web page.
