+.Sh NAME
+.Nm talkd
+.Nd remote user communication server
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm talkd
+.Op Fl dp
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Talkd
+is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to
+initiate a conversation.
+It acts a repository of invitations, responding to requests
+by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation.
+In normal operation, a client, the caller,
+initiates a rendezvous by sending a
+.Tn CTL_MSG
+to the server of
+type
+.Tn LOOK_UP
+(see
+.Aq Pa protocols/talkd.h ) .
+This causes the server to search its invitation
+tables to check if an invitation currently exists for the caller
+(to speak to the callee specified in the message).
+If the lookup fails,
+the caller then sends an
+.Tn ANNOUNCE
+message causing the server to
+broadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting contact.
+When the callee responds, the local server uses the
+recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous
+address and the caller and callee client programs establish a
+stream connection through which the conversation takes place.
