NAME
     talkd, in.talkd - server for talk program

SYNOPSIS
     in.talkd

DESCRIPTION
     talkd is a server used by the talk(1) program. It listens at the UDP
     port indicated in the file /etc/inet/services (port number 517) [see
     also services(4)]. If a talk connection is established, communication
     takes place over the connection-oriented TCP protocol. Both the sys-
     tems negotiate this protocol.

NOTE
     The protocol used depends on the system architecture of the machines
     involved.

SEE ALSO
