It would allow for text, voice and probably even video. It can be run completely selfcontained, you'd just need a jabber server. Where I'd see the bigger problem is the client side. There are very few clients that can do voice and probably fewer that do video and I don't know how much user interaction would be required with the clients as they are. As far as I know the most likely to work framework/client is telepathy/empathy which is sadly tied to gnome.
