Set up an IRC server or there's plenty of telnet based talker programs.

WRT IRC you may have missed the requirements in my OP; one was:
* instantly/synchronously exchanging any typed characters

 
I suggest you consult harry potter for that then.

(I suppose here you just want play the troll.) But how does that
comment address in any way my question? - I don't know anything
about "Harry Potter", BTW; if you want to discuss that better
open an own post in an appropriate newsgroup.

In the real world server
software is required whether its IRC, Teams, Slack etc.

(I think this statement is not true in a [software-]world where
peer-to-peer software designs are not uncommon. Just aside.)

But I'm not objecting to any solution that involves a server; as
far as my requirements (see above) are fulfilled.

 

I haven't heard of "telnet based talker programs"; care to be
more concrete?

 
Talk servers that allow you to telnet to them to chat to other people.

I asked for more concrete hints. - But never mind; you anyway seem
to just prefer trolling instead of providing useful information.

Clearly you have done zero research on this.

Not true. The search term "telnet based talker programs" that you
emitted did not not provide sensible information to my requirements.

If you know something concrete on my topic - which I now doubt - or
are just not interested to help with your purportedly "knowledge"
it's best if you don't misuse my thread and use another place for
your trolling. - Thanks.
