I have finally gotten MacLayers up and running on our Ultr*x box, thanks to
many who directed me to the special version at Rascal, and find it to be
great. It sure saves time being able to download files and still carry
on with real work.

On to my question:
   The documents state that I should be able to receive talk requests (while
   mesg is y, of course) to the login scirpt. This doesn't work. Requestors
   get the 'not accepting..' message and if I try to 'talk' to myself, I
   get the message 'You do not exist.' Much to my surprise. Anyone have any
   suggestions?

While on the subject of MacLayers, here are two things I would like to see
included in the future: ZMODEM and uploading support.

Thanks in advance, Mike.
