Does anybody know of a program that connects over IP and represents text transfer immediately like an old phoneline connection between two modems would have back in the day, rather than the burst-fire style that IRC and instant messenger type programs do? I'm looking for each letter to pop up on the other side as I type. Ideas? <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

If you do find something outside this thread, Priam, let me know; I'd love a program like that myself too. <p><hr />

Purpose uncertain, but I expect he wants to do something spooky with direct info transfers. Or alert people when he's typing. And tell them what he's writing out as he works on it. <p><hr />

The benefit is that the other side sees what I am typing as I type it. That is fairly simple, yes? <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

It was called 'talk' and was used primarily on Unix systems. I found a nifty little Windows-compatible version here. <p><hr />
