Interoffice messaging

[Jim N]

Any alterative for workstations to communicate quick
messages rather then using MSN Messenger? I don't like the
aspect of my staff allowing their friends to 'talk' w/
them all the time. We use MSN in the office for convenient
quick messages.. any suggestions??

We have mixed envirnoment of Windows NT and W2000

thx inadcvance

If you run Exchange 2000, you can use an internal form MSN on there, which
integrates into it...I haven't done this myself, but I think it allows you
to use it only for internal use.

There are several freebie apps out there for LANs, but I haven't been
thrilled with any of them. Look at www.download.com and search for "instant
message" or something...best o' luck.

Winpopup was the instant messaging feature included with Win3.1/95.
Windows XP will eventually include a feature like that, if it doesn't
already.

There used to be a program called Post-It for LAN instant messaging that
looked like little yellow sticky notes.

Ah Goeie! is a front-end graphical interface to the Net Send command in
WinNT/2000. You can use it to send messages to a group of users or a
single station.

Popup 2000 is intended for an exchange of the messages In a local
network. (like WinPopup) Opportunities: Transfer of the text of any
size. Parcel and reading of the messages in one window, by one click of
the mouse. Preservation of any amount of the messages. Always it is
visible of the users ready to communicate. Preparation of the messages
beforehand. Win9x/ME/NT

MacPopUp now works with Windows. Don't know whether it works with NT.

RealPopup freeware is supposed to be an improvement over Winpopup.
Perhaps it works with NT?

Send UI is a handy program used to send short messages across your LAN.
You can switch between windowed view and titlebar view (to hide it from
your boss!!). You can store sent messages to re-use them. Don't know
what OSes it runs on.
