As with the other, seems this guy just chose a nutty
outfit, thus making the interaction quite remarkable.

International telnet / ntalk / IRC from the student computer labs / dialup...
this was a thing in the late 80's and 90's, way before AIM / ICQ / facebook.
Not encrypted, not really anonymized, probably not even tapped, and
personal, as opposed being any part at all to news media with their wire.
Though of course western europe and a few select institutions outside
were the only ones reasonably well connected and free and english
speaking on the other end... germany, england, finns, brit colonies.
Scanned pictures then, and now video transcends written language,
