+.Os "Linux NetKit (0.17)"
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm talk
+.Nd talk to another user
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm talk
+[-p encoding]
+.Ar person
+.Op Ar ttyname
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Talk
+is a visual communication program which copies lines from your
+terminal to that of another user.
+.Pp
+Options available:
+.Bl -tag -width encoding
+.It Ar encoding
+The charset encoding sent by your peer (i.e. UTF-8, ISO-8859-1,
+EUC-JP, whatever). Default is some guesswork based on the incoming
+data and your current locate.
+.It Ar person
+If you wish to talk to someone on your own machine, then
+.Ar person
+is just the person's login name. If you wish to talk to a user on
+another host, then
+.Ar person
+is of the form
+.Ql user@host .
+.It Ar ttyname
+If you wish to talk to a user who is logged in more than once, the
+.Ar ttyname
+argument may be used to indicate the appropriate terminal
+name, where
+.Ar ttyname
+is of the form
+.Ql ttyXX
+or
+.Ql pts/X .
+.El
+.Pp
+When first called,
+.Nm talk
+contacts the talk daemon on the other user's machine, which sends the
+message
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine...
+talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine.
+talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine
+.Ed
+.Pp
+to that user. At this point, he then replies by typing
+.Pp
+.Dl talk \ your_name@your_machine
+.Pp
+It doesn't matter from which machine the recipient replies, as
+long as his login name is the same. Once communication is established,
+the two parties may type simultaneously; their output will appear
+in separate windows. Typing control-L (^L)
+.\".Ql ^L
+will cause the screen to
+be reprinted. The erase, kill line, and word erase characters
+(normally ^H, ^U, and ^W respectively)
+will behave normally. To exit, just type the interrupt character
+(normally ^C);
+.Nm talk
+then moves the cursor to the bottom of the screen and restores the
+terminal to its previous state.
+.Pp
+As of netkit-ntalk 0.15
+.Nm talk
+supports scrollback; use esc-p and esc-n to scroll your window, and
+ctrl-p and ctrl-n to scroll the other window. These keys are now
+opposite from the way they were in 0.16; while this will probably be
+confusing at first, the rationale is that the key combinations with
+escape are harder to type and should therefore be used to scroll one's
+own screen, since one needs to do that much less often.
+.Pp
+If you do not want to receive talk requests, you may block them using the
+.Xr mesg 1
+command. By default, talk requests are normally not blocked.
+Certain commands, in particular
+.Xr nroff 1 ,
+.Xr pine 1 ,
+and
+.Xr pr 1 ,
+may block messages temporarily in order to
+prevent messy output.

+.Sh BUGS
+The protocol used to communicate with the talk daemon is braindead.
+.Pp
+Also, the version of
+.Xr talk 1
+released with
+.Bx 4.2
+uses a different and even more braindead protocol that is completely
+incompatible. Some vendor Unixes (particularly those from Sun) have
+been found to use this old protocol.
+.Pp
+Old versions of
+.Nm talk
+may have trouble running on machines with more than one IP address,
+such as machines with dynamic SLIP or PPP connections. This problem is
+fixed as of netkit-ntalk 0.11, but may affect people you are trying to
+communicate with.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
