When I imitate a talk session FROM these machines I get a "talk connection requested" message on my FreeBSD Box but when I try and reply all I get is [No connection yet] [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] . . Both are obviously running ntalk as I would not get a message from the Talk_Daemon. On the positive side I powered up my Acorn RISCiX machine (4.3BSD) and that connected fine. I would have thought someone else would have noticed the problem connecting to Linux or does nobody else talk to Linux users :-) Chris
