putty (Xfree terminal, talk)
I have two questions: 1. How can I talk to an user who is accessing my computer through putty from an windows machine? When I tried it would say that the user refused to talk. Should I type "talk user", or I have somehow to include info about the ip of the source machine? 2. Is there any way of gaining access to an XFree (tty7, standard setting) terminal for a remote user?

Should I type "talk user", or I have somehow to include info about the ip of the source machine? 2.
