Could someone please point me to the protocol description of talk(1) on
on the SUN? About all I know about it is that there are two incompatible
versions (for different versions of SunOS) and they use UDP port 517/518
to establish a connection and then change over to use a TCP connection to
support the conversation.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe the answer is the usual for Berkeley networking software: you get to read the source (if you have it!), as there is no documentation. -- Mars in 1980s: USSR, 2 tries, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 2 failures; USA, 0 tries. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
