Yes. There is no (real) difference in the telepathy-salut you can install on
your normal machine and the one on the XO. So you can talk to each-other.

Joining the mesh without an XO is hard though (as afaik there are no other
machines supporting 802.11s). I'm assuming the Jonathan was using a normal
wireless network when he saw others online, not a mesh.

If your afraid of abuse. How to differentiate your friends and other
people/children on the mesh is still subject to discussion.
