Just wondering if FreeBSD Can do end-to-end encrypted talk as a server.
By "talk" do you mean `talk(1)` etc? If so, then the answer is
no, unfortunately. I don't believe that `talk` or `ntalk` was
ever a protocol that supported encryption. Of course, it is
possible that someone created a local variant at some site that
did, but if so, it was not widespread.

Maybe you could dummy up something with stunnel.
I think "talk" is pretty much unused these days though.

Now. More current technologies.
Audio and Video supported.

Isn't it possible to connect the systems through an encrypted tunnel,
e.g. IPsec, and then use that for communication?
