I install the talk for HP-UX 7.0. It gives the following message and quits, any ideas ? [Checking for invitation on caller's machine /etc/services and inetd.conf are both set up as requested in the README.

I think HPUX uses the Berkeley (BSD 4.3) new talk (port 518). Many machines still use the old talk (port 517). Some use old talk on port 518 and your talk experiences a protocol error and exits. Of course your talk program should give some warning like 'protocol error'!! Try talking to someone on your local machine -- Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@cs.vu.nl>
