I've been trying to use talk to talk to someone on another system,
but something's wrong.  When I type "talk user@address", I get the
standard "[No connection yet]", but then it shows "[Checking for 
invitation on caller's machine]" and hangs there ad infinitum.
She has set her messages off.  I've even tried "talk user@address tty".

Is this normal?  I'd assume that if a user doesn't want messages,
it would say on the sender's machine.  

Any comments would be most welcome.
