I seem to recall that at one time, however far back, that there was an OS/2 based instant messenger that worked on a LAN without the need of an Internet connection.
I get the funny feeling that that something is just under my nose, but I can't for the like of me, think of it.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks.
P.S. Just in case: I'm not looking for an Instant Messenger for use over the Internet. I have one of those.
Hi Ben,
There is of course, Network Messaging - which can broadcast to everyone, groups, or specific usernames. Kinda cumbersome, but works. There are also some programs (and related server apps for some of them) on Hobbes in the chat section. The other one was P2P/2 (Person to Person/2) which
*I THINK* came on the Bonus Pack CD for Warp 3 or 4...
*I THINK* it even did video conferencing with supported hardware. Been a long time since I have used or tried any of those (other than Network Messaging), so I am not sure.
There are also some REXX apps that do chat, also on Hobbes. Those can be used a variety of ways with a variety of interfaces (depending on your coding ability) from web to standalone non-GUI and GUI (using something like gpfRexx or Dr Dialog) ...
HTH,
