OT: A Unix question (the TALK function).....

Well, TALK is an old command so, maybe it's not off topic....

Can anyone tell me what's going on...

        When I "talk wolf_at_hera.dominion.net", it SEEMS to make a connection then I
get "[Checking for invitation on caller's machine]" and it sits there...
mocking me. (Stupid machine).

        Talk works fine when myself and the person I am trying to contact are on
the same machine.

        What is the deal?
