Tony, I bet we need more info. :) First, were you running another unix/linux before, and now that you have installed debian it doesn't work? Are you tryiung to use talk over the network to another host, or are you trying to use it locally to another user? And, is the other user "mesg y"? Is the talkd or ntalkd (ytalkd?) daemon installed and running? My bet, the other user isn't "mesg y". -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
