| Although you can communicate privately with someone on
IRC, the medium is essentially a public forum. If you want to exchange messages in real
time with a single person who can arrange to be on-line at the same time as you, then you
can use a talk program that employs the
popular Unix ntalk and talk protocols. What you type appears in one half
of the window, while what the other person types appears in the other half.
Compatible "talk" programs are available for various systems. A freeware talk program for the Mac is at: http://www.umich.edu/~archive/mac/util/comm/talk1.11.sit.hqx |
