Hello,

I've started working full-time on a Next.  Although I keep terminal windows  
open, I generally have them hidden.  So, my question is, is there either a talk  
client, or something that would warn me that there is a talk request active.

Thanks in advance!

If you use Stuart and keep a window miniaturized, the shading on
the window icon will change when the contents of that window
change.  Hence, make all your login windows writeable by only
you (do a 'mesg n' in them) and keep one miniaturized (do a 'mesg
y' in that one).  Just to make sure talk requests don't go to the
console, you might want to do a 'chmod og-w /dev/console'.
