    I've heard that there is a byte-order problem with BSD4.2's
    talk, but I haven't examined the code to find this.

The 4.2 talk used a machine dependent protocol, and in general you
can't make it interoperate between different flavors of unix on
different machines.  I think this is fixed in bsd4.3 but haven't
actually tried it.
