Does anyone know the protocol that the `talk' program uses to talk to the daemon `talkd'? Or does anyone have source to a PD `talk' program? (In case it's relevant, we are running Ultrix 2.0 on a MvaxII + SunOS 3.2 on a Sun3/110) What I would like to do is write a version to use with a GNU emacs `talk' mode rather than suspend emacs each time I use talk (a lot). I'd also like to stop talkd splattering it's message all over the screen, a message in the mode line and ringing the bell would be better. -- Brian Wallis (brw@jim.odr.oz) O'Dowd Research P/L.

I wrote a conference program that works with GnuEmacs. It allows unlimited users to conference as well as Emacs editing and no screen splattering. I've given the option to the FSF to distrubute it (if they wish). I think Richard is holding up until they have an archive site to put the sources.

I am working on an emacs lisp/c program to do talk in emacs. You can figure out the protocol, kind of, from the relevant include file. Incidentally, talkd is used only to rendezvous the talks. It doesn't transfer the info, the talks do that themselves. >What I would like to do is write a version to use with a GNU emacs `talk' >mode rather than suspend emacs each time I use talk (a lot). >I'd also like to stop talkd splattering it's message all over the screen, a >message in the mode line and ringing the bell would be better. Since talkd is the system program, you can't change its behavior. Sigh. N u m q u a m G l o r i a D e o Michael I. Bushnell HASA - "A" division 14308 Skyline Rd NE Computer Science Dept.

I have tried writing to him for more information with no reply. So, Keith, if you're reading this, could you try sending me mail? Or, if anyone else has gotten a copy of this package from Keith, could you tell me where I could FTP it from? -- Pray that Bush gets re-elected so that the Republicans will be blamed for it.

So, >Keith, if you're reading this, could you try sending me mail? I have recieved several messages wanting more info. I did post something a while ago, my guess is it was lost in some news warp. So... Conf is now at version 2.0, I will be sending this version to Rich Salz for posting within a day or two. Rich has promissed to post it within 3 weeks. I would suspect it will be posted within a month.
