I don't think that is correct. Two reasons: man page shows synopsis and
text that tends to indicate it will talk across machines; second I got a
nice connection refused message when I tried it here. I expected that
message.

Do you have more details about your (apparent?) failure to succeed?
Commands tried, config files altered, etc.?
