    "sonar"

    From the description of the Debian package:

    Description: console chat via ICMP (ping) echo-request packets sonar implements a peer to peer chat using ICMP (ping) echo-request packets, which means nearly stealth communication between two hosts without a central server.

    It has an ncurses-based interface with basic support for multiple windows and chats with different peers. It is a reference implementation for the u23 project of the Chaos Computer Club Cologne (http://koeln.ccc.de)
