It needs flash 8. Linux only has a stable flash 7 at the moment, with an unstable-as-hell flash 9 beta, and those are all 32-bit x86 only. So, it's not useful now but could be in a year or two, if you're running an x86 32-bit linux machine with an X11 window manager, an installed GTK+2x toolkit, and a compatible version of mozilla or firefox. Or windows.
I like the irony. It's like those books on linux that come with windows-only software, or that online solaris course whose webpages linked to c:\program files\xxxx\videoname.wmv on purpose, demanding you install stuff. Can't say I'm particularly impressed.

TALK(1) BSD General Commands Manual TALK(1)
NAME
talk -- talk to another user
SYNOPSIS
talk person [ttyname]
DESCRIPTION
talk is a visual communication program which copies lines from your terminal to that of another user.
Options available:
person If you wish to talk to someone on your own machine, then person is just the person's login name. If you wish to talk to a user on
another host, then person is of the form 'user@host'.
ttyname If you wish to talk to a user who is logged in more than once, the ttyname argument may be used to indicate the appropriate terminal
name, where ttyname is of the form 'ttyXX'.
When first called, talk sends the message
Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine...
talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine.
talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine
to the user you wish to talk to. At this point, the recipient of the message should reply by typing
talk your_name@your_machine
It doesn't matter from which machine the recipient replies, as long as his login-name is the same. Once communication is established, the
two parties may type simultaneously, with their output appearing in separate windows. Typing control-L '^L' will cause the screen to be
reprinted, while your erase, kill, and word kill characters will behave normally. To exit, just type your interrupt character; talk then
moves the cursor to the bottom of the screen and restores the terminal to its previous state.
Permission to talk may be denied or granted by use of the mesg(1) command. At the outset talking is allowed. Certain commands, in particu-
lar nroff(1) and pr(1), disallow messages in order to prevent messy output.
ENVIRONMENT
If the TALKHOST environment variable is set, its value is used as the hostname the talk packets appear to be originating from. This is use-
ful if you wish to talk to someone on another machine and your internal hostname does not resolve to the address of your external interface
as seen from the other machine.
FILES
/etc/hosts to find the recipient's machine
/var/run/utmp to find the recipient's tty
SEE ALSO
mail(1), mesg(1), who(1), write(1)
HISTORY
The talk command appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
The version of talk released with 4.3BSD uses a protocol that is incompatible with the protocol used in the version released with 4.2BSD.
