When working with other developers, I like to chat on the server itself using talkd. Talkd is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to initiate a conversation. It acts a repository of invitations, responding to requests by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation

apt-get install inetutils-inetd
apt-get install talk
apt-get install talkd

vi /etc/inetd.conf

Make sure you have in the /etc/inetd.conf the following:

talk dgram udp4 wait root /usr/sbin/in.talkd in.talkd
ntalk dgram udp4 wait root /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd in.ntalkd

/etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart
