I am using linux 1.2.13 but cannot configure talk command. It says something
about sockets not found and then just exits. It used to work on 1.2.8 earlier
but I don't know why it doesn't work now.

Any pointers to solve this problem would be appreciated.

I couldn't use talk either, until I was connected to a net. I think I got

worked, but I think not.

The fix was to add a dummy device to my host:

/sbin/ifconfig dummy <hostname>
/sbin/route add <hostname>

(I have put these in my rc.inet1)

Now I can access my host by it's name or IP address even when I'm not
connected to a nameserver. Yes, I had the host in /etc/hosts before too, but
I couldn't do a "telnet <myhost>" when I wasn't connected to the net.

Sorry if I messed up something here, I'm a newbie too, but I hope this
helps...
