Ugh. ytalk is standard with RedHat at least, and probably other distros.

But ytalk is the client. What you need is the talk server. On my system,
it is

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qi talk-server
Name        : talk-server                  Relocations: (not relocateable)

Summary     : The talk server for one-on-one Internet chatting.
Description :
The talk-server package provides daemon programs for the Internet talk
protocol, which allows you to chat with other users on different
machines.  Talk is a communication program which copies lines from one
terminal to the terminal of another user.

Enable talk and ntalk services in xinetd after installing the server.

Remember to firewall out UDP ports 517 and 518.
