Is it just me, or is the talk which was released with SR9.5 the biggest
discrace of a software release Apollo has ever made?

1) I can't get people to use talk to establish a connction to me unless
I talk to them first.  I assume that is because my name is more than 8
characters long.  Please, either support longer names or don't support
them.  

2) Talk seems to hang people who are logged in over an sio port.  When
you exit talk, you dead in the water; you never get back to the shell,
you never log out, you just sit there until someone does a sigp -s on
the process.

Come on Apollo, I expect better.  I expect this cruddy untested software
stuff from other vendors.
