Subject: intermachine "talk" problems
Index:	ucb/talk

Type:	bug
Priority: low

Description:
	When attempting to ``talk'' from localhost to remotehost,
	it loops while checking for an invitation in the "ctl_transact"
	called by "look_for_invite" with nready always == 0.

	When attempting to ``talk'' from a remotehost to the localhost,
	the following message keep printing on the console:
Talkd: Send: Address family not supported by protocol family(47).
	I assume this is a kernel message because I cannot find it in
	the source for talkd and I cannot redirect the message to a file.

	BTW: localhost is Motorola 68K based, remotehost is a VAX but I
	     don't believe byte swapping is the answer.

Repeat-By:
	does it every time
