The screen divides into two sections (upper and lower), the top

"Checking for invitation on caller's machine" and just sits there

Is there something helpful in your log files (/var/log/syslog for

syslog reports:
error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd: No such file or directory
"locate ntalkd" returns nothing.
