It seems to me that what you're really looking for is an add-on to
-- IRC seems to be the best candidate -- a protocol that would allow
a person joining the channel/network send their ID 
(eg. nick!username@ip.address) to the server.  Interested parties can
now retrieve it and start ftp/talk/whatever.  Of course you'd ideally
want an integrated client that spawns all those when needed, but that
can come later.

Difficult part is figuring out the protocol -- how IDs propagate, how
to make it secure etc.
