[comp.sys.hp] ****** TALK on HPUX, any source. ????

torab@eecae.msu.edu (05/11/91)

Does anybody know if there is source of TALK program for HPUX ??? 

Has anybody tried to hack around with TALK source codes that already 
exist on SUN machines so they could be run on HP's ???? 

I have tried to port the TALK source code which runs on the SUN 
operating sysytem, and run that for HP's. The modified code works 
well when you try to talk form an HP machine to a SUN machines, but 
it fails to connect the other way around. 

It seems like the talk program gets confused about the parameters 
that gets passed for the "connecting" to a specific sockets.

Anybody has tried this before ???

Any help would be appreciated.
