What's the easiest way to talk to more than one person at a time
and have everybody see what everybody else is typing?
Run "add sipb" and then "ytalk user1 user2 user3 ...". You can also
add users to the conversation once you've started up ytalk.
For more information, run "man ytalk" after "man sipb".
Note that the ytalk program is somewhat buggy. If you have problems
with it, we'll try to help, but there are no guarantees, since we
didn't write it.
You can also accomplish the same thing using a channel inside "irc".
For more information, run "add games" and then "man irc". You also
have to do "add games" before running irc.
