This directory contains the sources to the etalk program.  Etalk is a
program written in C and lisp, which allows a user to talk to other
users using the BSD talk protocol over TCP links.  This package also
includes sources needed to build gtalkd.  A Fully compatible BSD talk
daemon with extended features.  Lastly, sources to xphone are
included, which is a primitive X windows application displaying a
phone which "rings" when a talk request is sent.
