Hi. I'm currently working on an xview (OpenWindows) adaptation of the SunOS 'talk' utility. Problem is, there's no documentation on what to do once you're connected to the talk daemon (in.talkd). I've tried just reading from the port (nothing received) and sending the user's name that I'm trying to connect to (still nothing). I'm kinda stumped, since that daemon could be waiting for me to send just about anything. If anyone has experience with talk or talkd, or can point me toward some docs somewhere, I'd sure appreciate it. [[Ed's Note: xtalk is available from the various archives (uunet at least) and sounds a lot like what you are trying to do. If nothing else, the source might be useful as a reference. -bdg]] |o| Dom Bucciarelli |o| |o| (dbucciar@nyx.cs.du.edu) |o|
