dbd%benden@lanl.gov (Dan Davison) writes: The reason for the incompatible talk programs is that 3.x systems use the 4.2 talkd and 4.x uses the 4.3 BSD talkd. The incompatibilities are documented in the 4.3 System Manager's guide, I think. I'm inclined to think there's more to it. When a colleague running 4.0.1 on a 386i talks at me (a 3/150 running 4.0.1) my attempts to respond abort immediately. After he gives up I can initiate with him & he can respond without difficulty. --Frederick Kuhl, fkuhl@mitre.org
