Does anyone know of a package that allows two or more parties to converse
in emacs?  We have a consultant coming in over the phone lines on a vt-like
device.  It is inconvenient for him to use talk or write because he has
to get in and out of emacs.  M-x terminal with talk doesn't work because
the terminal emulator doesn't make an entry in /etc/utmp.  He could use
M-x telnet and then write(1) but was having some difficulty with telnet --
(I dunno why).  Anyway... it has raised my interest in finding an emacs based
conferencing facility.  Meanwhile, I'll be trying to get his M-x telnet
working.

Anybody got a lead?

Thanks in advance.
