I am glad you mentioned it. I regularly chat with my team members using ssh to a server running a irc client which is the login shell and the client connects to the local irc server running on the same said server.
For a quicker and dirtier solution, you mentioned it again, just use talk to avoid setting up a irc server.
Believe me here, I am not bragging in any way, just sharing my own experience while realizing people will come up with all kinds of no-no and I am willing to accept any objections. In other words, I am just saying. Not trying to convince anybody.
