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.

Key feature of "Harry Potter" - he lives in a world where magic is real.

You have to wonder what cave he lives in never to have heard of Harry Potter.

This is Muttley's way of telling you that he thinks that your
specification can only be achieved by using magic, that it's
incompatible with the real world.
Taken literally, "instantly" is indeed impossible, but I doubt that you
intended it literally.

There are many solutions to what he wants, he only needs to google.
