There are sources to the 4.3 talk available on ftp.uu.net in the freed BSD sources directory, /bsd-sources. They compile and allow your Sun to talk to other machines (the 4.3 talk daemon is a bit more architecture independent and allows your 386is to talk to your Sparcs, for example). -- Rich Kaul | It wouldn't be research if we kaul@icarus.eng.ohio-state.edu | knew what we were doing.
