Hell, you could use ncat if that's all you want it to do. Probably unlike talk/ntalk, I seem to recall that there are versions supporting TLS or similar too.

Has anyone gotten talk or ntalk working on a modern distro in the last few years?
I can't get talk to work in Fedora 30 no matter what I do. It installs with a systemd setup but it won't start that way. I tried doing it the old xinetd way, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Seems impossible?
Any other ideas for extremely simple command line 2-person chat that uses no external servers (no I don't want to setup my own irc server! hopefully!)?
Don't tell me I'll have to write my own...
