No need to apologize.  The more information the better.

It seems that the problem is limited to talk requests initiated on this
machine.  I logged into my ISP's shell and started a talk session from
there.  I went back to tty1 and saw the message that someone wanted to
talk and the reply I should give.  I tried to respond but got a message
saying:

error on read from talk daemon: connection refused

I'm guessing this is something at my ISP's end.
