Sun OS uses the old talk protocol used with BSD 4.2, where the talk and
talkd sources on uunet.uu.net (/bsd-sources/src/network/talk[d].tar.Z) is
the 4.3 talk protocol (called ntalk in the inetd.conf). I wish Sun
(Sequent, Encore and other BSD 4.2 based OS vendors) would update to the
4.3 networking programs, so we don't need to keep two protocols. The 4.3
programs may need the talk.h in the include directory.
