A blog about setting this up and random nonsense.
I think I managed to get talk working on this server. Took a bit of work to get it sorted out and I had to modify the /etc/inetd.conf file by hand.
The magic seemed to be:
sudo apt install talk inetutils-talk inetutils-talkd
And then changing /etc/inetd.conf to include:
talk dgram udp4 wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/talkd
ntalk dgram udp4 wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/talkd
