I read about the talk command on linux, and how it lets you chat character-by-character rather then line-by-line like most chat clients or IRC.
Does anybody know where I might find a webapp or a chat client (that runs in Windows) that lets you chat in such a manner over the internet?
I did find a few related posts on some other forum (metafilter, specifically), but nobody seemed to have a solution there. I also found a project on Google code (TalkLively), but it looks like it requires a server and some setup to get working, which I'm not willing to do.

to whom do you want to chat in this manner? one other person at another machine? a group? – akira – 2012-08-15T06:13:06.300
I suppose with one person at another machine. – Michael0x2a – 2012-08-15T06:17:19.543
do you need to go through firewalls? no setup required? – akira – 2012-08-15T06:48:10.203
@akira: I'd like a solution that has a fairly good chance of working on most computer setups. I realize that stuff like firewalls can make some solutions difficult to implement, which is why I was hoping that I could find some webapp or program to circumvent issues like that altogether (although I'm willing to try and work around that if need be). I don't care how long it takes to set it up, as long as it isn't ridiculously onerous -- I really don't have many constraints or requirements :) – Michael0x2a – 2012-08-15T07:00:19.443
