NAME

       xtalk  - X Window System BSD compatible talk client, written in Python.

SYNOPSIS

       xtalk [user[@address[ tty]]

DESCRIPTION

       When started, xtalk won’t actually try to connect until  you  click  on
       the  "Connect"  button  in the program.  xtalk accepts addresses in the
       same format as the regular BSD talk program.  From in the  program  you
       can  enter  the  address in the "Address" entry.  At any point during a
       talk session, clicking on "Disconnect" disconnects the session.

       The format of a talk address is as follows.  To talk to a user  on  the
       same  host,  just  use "username" as the address.  To talk to a user on
       another host, use "username@hostname" as the address.  If the  user  is
       logged in several times, you can specify which tty to "page" them on by
       saying "username tty" or "username@hostname tty".

BUGS

       From user point of view, it seems that his own text in  the  window  is
       editable, whereas in fact it is not.
