In article <12052@chaph.usc.edu> szeto@aludra.usc.edu (Johnny Szeto) writes: I have an interesting conversation with one of my friends in Canada. BTW, we were conversing over the 'talk' command on unix. But somehow I think there are some problems associated with the process. Sounds like you need to get and install the "4.3" version of talk, also known as "ntalkd", on one or both of the systems. It is available from uunet.uu.net in the /bsd-sources directory. My questions are: why do these kinds of things happen? Byte ordering problems are the culprit here. The protocol for in.talkd on 4.2-based systems is architecture dependent and cannot be relied to work between machines of different vendors. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept <emv@math.lsa.umich.edu> moderator, comp.archives
