7.1: UNIX Communication

UNIX provides a `mail' and `talk' service for all users. Mail is a convenient, fast, and free way to send memos and messages to other users on the networks. Talk allows visual communication by copying lines from your terminal to that of another user (and vice versa). Another lesser used utility is `write', which allows you to type a complete message to another user's screen and then wait for a reply.
