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.
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.

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

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

"Even" MacOS? It's required for UNIX-< conformance - if MacOS didn't
have talk, it wouldn't be able to be certified as UNIX.

Or they would have paid a little more money and that requirement would have been discarded.

Not sure if you're just being flippant or you genuinely believe that
would be possible. If the latter, then you clearly know very little
about the POSIX/UNIX standards development process. It takes a decade
or two to remove an interface from the standard, as it first needs to be
marked obsolescent (to give application writers advance notice to start
phasing out its use). Take for example the tempnam() function: mandatory
for UNIX in SUSv3 (2001), marked obsolescent (but still mandatory) in
SUSv4 (2008), removed in SUSv5 (2024).

I took his comment literally, even though I thought it rather unlikely -
it's not impossible. However, his response indicated that he said it
just to make a point.
