ntalk

chat ("new talk") An update of the Unix "talk" program,

old versions of "talk" being referred to as "old talk". New

talk and old talk are generally incompatible, and attempts to

get them to communicate result in entirely unhelpful error

messages.

On most modern Unix systems, the program "talk" is new talk,

with some SunOS versions being a notable and annoying

exception to this.
