Yes, actually try to use them across networks. There are these
funny little things on the outside of most organizations called
"firewalls", maybe you've heard of them.
There is absolutely no need to be a smartass. I make a living
running fairly large networks...and not for clueless organizations
who depend on the crutch of a firewall to implement a secure
network. I use "talk" fairly frequently, it works just fine.
