We use DOMAIN_OS 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, with TCP/IP on some machines and it does'nt seems to work ... Talk works between apollos and also to many other hosts (but not to Suns ...) The "trick" is that you must activate it from /etc/inetd.conf. Remove the #-character which comments the ntalk line out. Then initialize the inetd (reboot or send it a HUP (kill -HUP )). eero -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eero Pajarre eero@tut.fi tel: +358-31-162189 Tampere University of Technology fax: +358-31-162913 PO Box 527, SF-33101 Tampere, FINLAND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
