  ntalk
       
           ("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.
