You can retrieve these from me10.lbl.gov via anonymous ftp.  Versions of
talk/talkd for both the series 800 and series 300 machines are available.

-r--r--r--   1 root     other     129937 Oct  3 14:42 hp-ux/talk_7.0_300.tar.Z

The readme file says:

Note that this is the BSD 4.3 version of talk which uses the "ntalk"
service.  You should have the following entry in /etc/services:

ntalk           518/udp         talk

It is not compatible with the older talk (which used port 517).

The /etc/inetd.conf entry should be like this:

ntalk   dgram  udp wait   root  /usr/local/etc/talkd    talkd

You may substitute /usr/local/etc/talkd with a path of your choice.
