well... it is strange...
after playing a bit with ports talk and ntalk...
discovered that talk works only with "talk user at localhost" and not
"talk user"
still... the ytalk is still does not work.
I even moved the talk service to port 518 and ntalk to 517.... still
doesn't work...
on RH9 all was ok.

... and indeed it doesn't especially need talk because in.talkd is on
517 and ntalkd is on 518... and talk goes to 518.

what about ytalk? it was useful...

| Good Luck.
