IRC will be too complex (for communicating b/w just 2 systems)  and I don't
think telnet would be of much help as far as your task is concerned.

You may consider creating a simple program for facilitating communication.
Most crude approach would be to try and modify the programs from the
Networking lab-file (I hope you still have the soft copy ;) . to get a more
robust application.
Slightly easier, way is to use the Qt API as I had successfully implemented
something similar in no time.
Simplest method, in my perspective is to use pyNet. But would require you to
first get accustomed with Python.

I believe, its high time that you got your hands dirty with code :) And
that, this is what the instructor expects.

Did you check the firewall settings on Fedora. While development I had faced
a similar issue, my client and server were not able to connect to each
other. Disabling firewall (which is a very bad approach) solved the issue
temporarily.
If you intend to go deeper you may try to add the talk program as an
exception.

Good to see you here.
