Qole, I agree that it is a bit rough around the edges and not entirely robust. In fact it bails that often I've taken to running it in an infinite loop from a script, but it does actually perform its function. Reminds me of my first experiences with the Maemo RSS feed reader ;-)

Last night I ran a script on my server that just bounced DT-Talkie bundles back to my N800, and sure enough it receives them too. Early days though. With some debugging and GUI rework, I expect that it can become more acceptable.

Now, if only I can figure out how to rebuild it from source. I'm having some issues satisfying the dependencies in scratchbox, not the least as it has a need for a package called dtn-api, which I've never heard of and assume is some derivative of the fuller dtn package. Clearly its a build-time dependency only, as I don't have it installed on my N800 (I have the full dtn package I built installed there).

BTW, you can hack out existing contacts in the txt files in /media/mmc1/.dttalkie and restart dttalkie.

Personally I'd like to thank palash_cse for pitching up here and being responsive to the problem I mentioned with my DTN2 build. I hope (s)he isn't too put off by initial feedback here.
