Then you may have to write a little program that opens a pty and runs
write interactively, e.g. controlled by "expect" or the like.

But even "write" works only on the local machine; all you can do is select
the tty to which to send the output.

I suppose you could also write a program that connects to talkd, but then
you have to wait for the remote user to respond, etc.
