Okay..this is weird.


I just tried talking on my local machine between two different users.

I opened two terminal window and logged in as jim on 2nd terminal. Then from the first terminal i typed

talk jim.

In jim's window, the talk requests comes up no problem

when I (jim) tries to reply with talk user_in_terminal_window_1
I get the message

talk: Terminal type unset or lacking necessary features.

when I type echo $term I just get term
I think this is strange....the other terminal window type is vt100.

But I opened both windows the same way...and didn't set the terminal type in either...

Hmmmm
