Messanging

I know either of the following will work in 2000, not sure about 98 though.

First, in control panel->admin tools->services you can click actions->all tasks and send a console message to another computer

Second, in the windows/system32 dir there is a program called winchat ... looks a lot like a PC Anywhere chat ... however, the computer you are dialing must have winchat running before you dial to make it work. I assume if win98 doesn't have this, you could copy it and make it work, but Idon't have a win98 machine to test it.

Hope this helps.

NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[name]| /USERS} message

OR: NET SEND (COMPUTER NAME) (MESSAGE)
