Does anyone have a version of 4.2bsd's talk program that will run
over a point-to-point UDP/IP connection ?

The standard version of talk(1) as delivered does not work across two
machines linked by such a connection. However, the talk program on one
side does seem to make contact with the talk daemon running on the
other.  (When compiled with the debugging options, the foreign daemon
prints out a lot of messages when brought into action by the local talk
program).  However, talk's own protocol somehow seems to become messed
up and nothing much happens after that.

All ideas and help are received very gratefully indeed.
