If you can see your terminal listed with the command 'w', your terminal is fine. xterm will work for this. Next, the person who wants to talk to you should prbably specify which terminal to contact you on. Eg:
talk <username> tty1 or talk <username> pts/0 The latter is used with X terminals and the formaer is for the console.
