      The ytalk Portfile 42247 2008-11-17 08:35:54Z blb macports.org $

      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: ytalk
      Version: 3.3.0
      Category: net
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: multi-user talk client
      Long Description: YTalk is a compatible replacement for the BSD talk(1) program. The main advantage of YTalk is the ability to communicate with any arbitrary number of users at once. It supports both talk protocols (talk and ntalk) and can communicate with several different talk daemons at the same time. You may also spawn a command shell in your talk window and let other users watch. YTalk supports a basic set of VT100 control codes, as well as job control (BSD support added in 3.1.3).
