Talk is part of the standard 4.2 distribution. If you have 4.2 on
some machines there, you should already have the source. If not,
talk is covered by lisencing restrictions and the source is not
freely available.
Note: talk relies heavily on the 4.2 socket system for interprocess
communication. System V does not have this facility. the 4.2 talk
would require major modifications to run under system V.
However, there is some good news... Several version of talk for
System V have been posted to net.sources or mod.sources in the past.
See if you have them laying around somewhere.
