Hi,
I am having problems using talk between machines. On FreeBSD V2.01, the
daemon ntalkd is standard and I am trying to talk to an AIX V3.1.3 box
with their version of ntalkd. The session hangs at "checking for
invitation on callers machine", the same problem exists with another
machine that also runs ntalkd. Yet the AIX box talks to any other box with
ntalkd. Has anyone encountered the same problem?
