There is a ytalkd, but it should work with talkd anyway. There isn't a Sun involved in the loop somewhere is there? The talk they ship is notorious for not working with others (4.2BSD talk I believe) Check also that you have a suitable entry in /etc/services for the talk port (ie whatever the ytalk docs say they require), and that your talkd line is uncommented.. It looks like the one on netbsd is /usr/libexec/ntalkd, service ntalk, port 518. James.
