 * Here is a patch to talkd which makes it send the request to the tty with
 * the lowest idle time.

Sorry, I don't think this is a very good idea.  My solution to this
problem is that I have one xterm always visible on my virtual screen,
whose sole purpose is to get incoming talk requests and kernel
messages.  I make sure it grabs the first tty by inserting a small
sleep in my .xinitrc.

Now I need to run around trying to figure out where the beep is coming 
from (or won't notice it at all if I'm listening to the CD).... :(
