[RndTbl] talk/ntalk

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...

Thanks!
