VERSION
to-talk 1.1, 25 Sep 1995
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
