Hi

I would like to know if anyone has discovered an easy to use replacement for WinPopup. I have Win2k and Win9x machines on my company network, and would like to enable communication between them. I am looking for a program that is simple and intuitive - no bells and whistles.

Other programs I have looked at have been capable of sending attachments, spanning the internet etc - I do not need this functionality. I want a simple text messengerwith a simple GUI. I do not wish to use NET SENDas Win98 machines using WinPopup do not recieve the messages.

Many thanks

We've been using IPMSG for sometime; there are several sites that offer download for this application.

It is freeware and opensource.

It works quite well on 9x and later versions of Windows.

Best of luck.

Agree with the above answer. Ipmsg.exe is a very simple to use messaging tool, with few-but helpful features, and works wonders with all windows versions.
Let me know your email id and i can mail it to you. Its just 48KB when zipped.
Cheers.
