a console that's not associated with anything and can be used for
communication between people. i think the chat option has a few extras
like prepending people's names in front of their text and so on. we
used it for quite a while as a substitute for IRC when that got too
noisy.

i'm not sure how much of the chat code for consolefs is in the
distribution, i would assume all of it.
