[[Ed's Note: I aked Miron to write this up since the original VTALK readme
was unreadable. This will be included in the vtalk package and I am also
leaving it here so that anyone who already got the package can just
extract this. -bdg]]

Vtalk - How to
--------------

How to install: 

Unpack the archive by running through /bin/sh.  This will produce .c and
.h files, and a Makefile.  You might wish to comment out the check for
root uid in vtalkd.c.  Type 'make'.  This will produce the executables
'vtalk' and 'vtalkd'.

A service must be allocated to vtalkd in /etc/services or on the yellow
pages.  A service number like 2999 will be suitable.  The entry should
look like:
    
	vtalk      2999/tcp

How to run: 
    
Run vtalkd on every machine that you want voice talk to work on.  To
initiate a connection type 'vtalk user at machine'.  The user on that machine
will be informed of the request.  To accept a connection type 'vtalk' with
no arguments.

Both machines must have, of course, microphones connected to the DIN
connector in the back of the Sparc.  The pinout is described in Volume 9
issue 23 of sun-spots.

Note:  As far as I see, there is no need to have root permission for vtalk.
       I am not sure that this is correct in all cases.
