- Yes: "chmod u+x `tty`". That's all that "biff y" does.

- Of course, if you aren't running a comsat daemon it'll do little good. I
- recall that porting comsat was pretty easy. Nonetheless, an IRIX 4.0.*
- ready version is available for anonymous FTP from jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu in
- pub/public_domains_software/SGI.
-
- Then, of course, your mail system must know how to poke the comsat server --
- can't really help you there...
