Texting medium yes low
Email high yes medium
Real time Audio low yes medium

    Email (seems most basic)

Basics-

     Mail user agent - the users interface

    Mail transfer agent -  what transfers the mail. think postal service.

    Mail Storage agent - what stores the mail. this could just be a file.

Ideally all three of these are on each node


the easiest first step might be to get a domain name

after that you can pick whatever provider you want... hopefully eventually yourself
