:I recently upgraded my talk and now it seems to be broken.  Whenever i try
:to talk to someone on my machine it says waiting for [No connection yet]
:then sits for a bit then says [Checking for Invitation on caller's
:machine] then never moves.  Can anyone tell me what is the problem?

I've run into the problem (but on different machines) and was told that
this results from two different flavors of talk listening on two different
ports (517 and 518, I think). Perhaps your talk port is disabled/messed up 
in /etc/services or /etc/inetd.conf?
