My hint: advise to install Skype. Seriously. Even if that's not an option
for whatever reason, there's a myriad of applications out there that do
this, and the task is definitely non-trivial. Personally - no way I would
waste a minute of my time reinventing that particular wheel.

As someone who builds text-based chat systems for a living, all I can say
is, "HA!". The problem might seem easy at first, but you would not believe
the complexities that lay lurking under the surface.
