maw@auc (Michael A. Walker) (12/06/86)
Greetings: My name is Michael A. Walker and I am a representative the Atlanta University Center Computer Center in Atlanta, GA. We are a fairly new UNIX shop, running UNIX SYSTEM V and we are in the process of building our software and hardware inventory. We are aware that there exists a TALK facility for BSD 4.2 systems and that the sources for this facility has been distributed free of charge to educational institutions such as ours. This facility will enhance the intercommunication links with our users and staff. Presently, we can only WRITE to each other. This method is VERY tedious to use due to the fact that there exists a long lag time between persons receiving the incoming messages. I am requesting that someone send me information on this distribution of the TALK facility(i.e. who I can contact directly to request a copy of TALK) or send me the souces if it is free of charge. All help will be greatly appreciated. With kindest regards, I remain Sincerely, Michael A. Walker Operator, AUC Computer Center maw@auc
