Dear Sir : I have installed the hamm distribution without problems, apparently. The system is working well. My problems is with the talk daemon. All other services (telnetd, ftpd, ....) are working but when I do a talk from other unix box I can connect. Any clue? the portmap and inetd.conf are right. Thank in advance.
