Before you start making absurd comments about other people or
organizations, you might want to get some of your information straight:
in the first place, "talk" is not supported by Apollo, and as such,
Apollo has no obligation to guarantee that it runs correctly with 
each and every software release.  Secondly, given the major software
upheaval between sr9.2 and sr9.5 with the goal of maintaining as much 
upward-compatibility as we possibly could, it's amazing that very few
things did break.  My suggestion to you is that if really want to use
"talk" (I wouldn't know why, given that telephone communications would
be much more efficient), you should get a hold of the source and try
to fix it yourself.
