I use talk all the time, but it's different from IM's... (although I guess the "chat mode" of ICQ, etc would be more like talk than the silly "interrupt your workflow and yammer messages at you" mode) Not suprised that it's not used much anymore, though... not too many multi-user Unix shell hosts left around. I'm lucky to have accounts on a couple with large enough user-bases for old school Unix communication tools to still be useful. M
