[svlug] Help getting talk to work please

[Mike Rushford]

Hi Rafael:

All this checks out. I think the problem is I never see any indication of a
talk request in any of the
shells I have open on my X windows desk top. I do hear the beep though.

What  I would realy like is to find script that might pop up a new shell with
the reply to accept talk already lanuched in it. This would save on trying to
type in the talk request which never seems to get done before the next
request comes in.
