I use ytalk on one of my servers for training purposes (only local users can connect) - so that a shared shell sessions can be opened (a la screen -x) and comments can be added while a session is ongoing.
Is it possible to have ytalk display in side-by-side windows instead of top-and-bottom?
Or might it be better to use screen, and then have a shell session opened inside emacs so comments/notes can be made in the other buffer?
Or is there another good way of accomplishing this that doesn't involve having to use funky Java tools like webex?
