    I know of 2 programs that sort of fit the bill:
    1. Broadcast is a Chooser document that lets you send a short
          broadcast to one or more Macs on an AppleTalk network.
    2. AppleJam is an application that lets 2 or more users talk.

I think both are available on sumex.
    There's a similar program that was described in MacTutor - I don't know
if anyone has typed it in and tried it (or purchased the source disk)?  It was
a while back, MacTutor, August 87, in an article by Ty Shipman called "Build
a Gossip Net on AppleTalk in C".
