This may be a common problem, but since I don't have a clue where to
look for a particular FAQ list that would answer it, here goes.

I am on a Sun OS machine, and the person I wish to talk with is on a 
BSD 4.3 system, and the talk daemons don't want to interface with each
other at all. All I get is a message:

[Checking for invitation on caller's machine]

and than nothing happens. Please help me out, is there a source file I
should get and compile on the Sun OS machine that recognizes BSD talk?
