I'm sorry, perhaps I should have put a smiley in there; I was being
facetious. What I did was give the helpful suggesting of changing what you
mean by 'work' to be whatever it is talk does, therefore it would suddenly
work under Linux.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you. Although I do have a Linux box which dials
up an ISP (I am responsible for the firewall at work, which is a Linux box
connected to a modem; it dials into the ISP and uses proxies and socks to 
turn that into internet service for the whole company), I don't use talk.
I thought VMS' PHONE was annoying enough that I've never gotten into talk.
