Description miroslav.pragl 1999-10-26 07:08:43 UTC 
a switch letting you specify public (Internet) address to
introduce yourself instead of real (Intranet) one when
ringing someone behind firewall
example:
localhost is 192.168.1.1, translated on firewall to real
X.X.X.X address

talk -f X.X.X.X myparty@behind.firewall.com

would use X.X.X.X instead of 192.168.1.1 so that my party
could answer
