Calisto - An internet talker
Calisto is an Internet Talker. It is a telnet server that allows many
people to connect to it and talk to each other. It is written in C.
Users of other talker code bases such as EW-too and Nuts should
recognise the style of program.
I am happy to here peoples suggestions for the talker, and bug reports,
ideas and patches are happily recieved. You can
Contact me here.
