bit difficult. off the top of my head try:-
remote machine
nc -l -p 6789 > /dev/tty
local machine
echo -en "\a" | nc remote 6789
Might work, but note GPL warrentee :-)

your terminal to theirs.

NAME
wall -- send a message to everybody's terminal.
SYNOPSIS
wall [ message ]
DESCRIPTION
Wall sends a message to everybody logged in with their mesg(1) permis-
sion set to yes. The message can be given as an argument to wall, or it
can be sent to wall's standard input. When using the standard input
from a terminal, the message should be terminated with the EOF key
(usually Control-D).
Both will work, promise.
