No where near the extras you've seen in Outlook Messenger but included in
the Delphi\Indy demos is a chat program, maybe that would help?

Hello Doug,

We use Microsoft Office Communicator if that is helpful.

Hi Brian,

Thanks, I also own RTC and know they have coded examples... I was hoping for
something that is production ready today but will continue to review. Thank
you.

If you need setup a server look www.jabber.org, with exodus client (full Delphi client).

Without server http://www.miranda-im.org with WinPopup plugin (not Delphi)

You could also check out Spark over at www.jivesoftware.org. Its open
source, our company uses it now.

A friend of mine wrote this for our office use and then decided to
start selling it.

http://www.digicraft.com.au/yak/

It's been around since about 2000.

It's small, quick and is reasonably priced.

HTH,

Ryan

At my previous employer (4 weeks ago), we used Pandion,
http://www.pandion.be/ , for our needs. Our needs were what you
described and we needed it free as our boss was unaware that we were
using it. We finally let him know 2 years later when he began looking
for solutions to meet this need and he was going to pay for one. We
showed him what we were using and told him we didn't spend a dime. I'm
going to suggest we (my new employer) use this same client when the
time is right. Nice benefit of Pandion is that the client is
HTML/Javascript based so you can easily modify it for your needs.

Thanks All -

Under consideration of the legal aspect of having instant messaging in an
office environment, our legal dept denied have such a tool as it now
requires that all text be logged, monitored, and archived for legal
purposes.

Go figure, a great way to communicate has been hindered by red tape...
