Am I the only one having difficulties getting /usr/ucb/talk to connect
to talk programs running on machines other than NeXTs (such as Sparc's
and Sun3's)? 

No, you are not... and I wish we could get this put into the FAQ (Pascal?):
SUN ships an older version of talk which is incompatible with the newer 
version(s), one of which NeXT ships.

You need to get the SUNs upgraded to the new version of talk. You can contact  
the Texas A&M University sys-admins for help if you like. Some of the SUNs here  
have been upgraded.
