If you try "talk joebob pts/2" then you'll get "your party is refusing messages" if joebob on pts/2 has mesg set to n.

Also also, ytalk has more features than talk, like possible 3-way chats IIRC. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
