RSEXEC (Resource Sharing EXEC) done on TENEX earlier
in the 1970s.
That was associated with the National Software Works project:
https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a132320.pdf
I think? (It's been four decades since I looked at NSW, so I don't recall
much about it.) Neither was TENEX-specific; e.g. there were Multics
implementations of RSEXEC and NSW.

RFC 441 specifies a protocol for TALK, and apparently the RSEXEC
protocol is involved somehow. ITS has a server for this protocol.

"talk"... Well, at least it was a *bit* better than "write" :-)
"mesg n" was your friend.

Unless you actually wanted to talk to the person on the other end.
Having it over the Internet was cool. In 1989 when my wife and I
were dating, we lived in different cities, and would occasionally
use talk to chat with each other in real time, w/o the expense of
a phone call. It was fun. :-)
