-
- ABSTRACT
-
- An "old talk" client and server.
-
- This is a hacked version of NetBSD's [n]talk & [n]talkd
-
- The programs were modified to conform to the protocol used
- by the OLD (BSD4.2) talk server and clients
- i.e. those using port 517/udp.
-
- to-talk-1.1 has successfully been tested on linux-1.3.29/i586.
- It was able to communicate locally to itself as well as to
- remote native talks on
- SINIX-N 5.41 RM400 R3000
- SunOS 4.1.3 sun4m sparc
- SunOS 5.4 sun4m sparc
- TOS64M 4.1.01 i88_hfx TARGON/35-M50
- SINIX-L 5.41 i386 MX300
- unisys 4.0 i386 386/AT
