I've posted this before but it seems that the post went out to *space
and hasn't been seen since. ;-)
I'm running 1.1.45 on a 486sx. I've been trying to talk with a user on
another machine, wanda.pond.com. I have no idea what os this box is
running, nor can the user help me with it. So, I'm asking for help
in several ways:
1) Does anyone know what OS pond.com is running on?
2) Talk and ntalk return the following error:
Connection refused (111).
I've started rpc.portmap on my system and the
/etc/services files shows that talk is on port
517, and ntalk on 518. Neither of these work
with pond. Also, I've got ytalk and it gives me
the error that the connection is refused, even
though the user has set mesg y to yes.
What IS this error(111) and is there anything else
I can do to get this to work? I've been told in
email that Suns are bad with talk and ntalk, but
that ytalk should work. So far, it hasn't.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated.
