Keywords: talk Protocol Description talkd Message-ID: <2382@van-bc.UUCP> Date: 23 Apr 89 14:51:43 GMT Reply-To: skl@van-bc.UUCP (Samuel Lam) Organization: Balliffe International, Vancouver, B.C., Canada Lines: 11 Could someone please point me to the protocol description of talk(1) on on the SUN? About all I know about it is that there are two incompatible versions (for different versions of SunOS) and they use UDP port 517/518 to establish a connection and then change over to use a TCP connection to support the conversation. Thanks in advance for your help. ...Sam -- Samuel Lam {alberta,watmath,uw-beaver,cs.ubc.ca}!ubc-cs!van-bc!skl
