[[Ed's Note: I aked Miron to write this up since the original VTALK readme
was unreadable. This will be included in the vtalk package and I am also
leaving it here so that anyone who already got the package can just
extract this. -bdg]]
Vtalk - How to
--------------
How to install:
Unpack the archive by running through /bin/sh. This will produce .c and
.h files, and a Makefile. You might wish to comment out the check for
root uid in vtalkd.c. Type 'make'. This will produce the executables
'vtalk' and 'vtalkd'.
A service must be allocated to vtalkd in /etc/services or on the yellow
pages. A service number like 2999 will be suitable. The entry should
look like:
vtalk 2999/tcp
How to run:
Run vtalkd on every machine that you want voice talk to work on. To
initiate a connection type 'vtalk user@machine'. The user on that machine
will be informed of the request. To accept a connection type 'vtalk' with
no arguments.
Both machines must have, of course, microphones connected to the DIN
connector in the back of the Sparc. The pinout is described in Volume 9
issue 23 of sun-spots.
Note: As far as I see, there is no need to have root permission for vtalk.
I am not sure that this is correct in all cases.
