This will be included in the vtalk package and I am also leaving it here so that anyone who already got the package can just extract this. -bdg]] Vtalk - How to -------------- How to install: Unpack the archive by running through /bin/sh. This will produce .c and .h files, and a Makefile. You might wish to comment out the check for root uid in vtalkd.c. Type 'make'. This will produce the executables 'vtalk' and 'vtalkd'. A service must be allocated to vtalkd in /etc/services or on the yellow pages. A service number like 2999 will be suitable. The entry should look like: vtalk 2999/tcp How to run: Run vtalkd on every machine that you want voice talk to work on. To initiate a connection type 'vtalk user@machine'. The user on that machine will be informed of the request. To accept a connection type 'vtalk' with no arguments. Both machines must have, of course, microphones connected to the DIN connector in the back of the Sparc. The pinout is described in Volume 9 issue 23 of sun-spots. Note: As far as I see, there is no need to have root permission for vtalk. I am not sure that this is correct in all cases. By me: Miron Cuperman
