Yeah, but our options are IRC or telegrams. I was talking about a private
split screen real time chat. IRC is near realtime, using one or more servers
in between and only transmits a line at a time. Telegrams are good for short
messages, but then, so is email, and email is more reliable in my opinion.
Talk and talkd are pretty awesome as it's fully live, character by character.
One of the later versions, ytalk I think it was, apparently even had the
ability to have more than two splitscreened users (I guess up to four), plus
you could open a shell that others could see (the original online whiteboard?).
