I canīt find nothing about this. With sources installed everything I get is: $locate ntalk /usr/libexec/ntalkd $ Is this a drop-in replacement for talkd? Differences, advantages? BTW, I know what the purpose of biff and therefore comsat is, but I lack the knowledge, if in some cases there is an advantage of biff over the MAIL variable? Any hints appreciated, thanks in advance, Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
