We have a couple faculty that have asked for winpopup (of Win 95 & 98 fame) or something similar so they can communicate quickly. We are on Win 2K Pro now and I can't find anything comparable. I never worked with winpopup but I understand it is an instant messaging type program. Does it, or something similar, exist for 2K? Any ideas?!?

There is always ICQ or AOL IM

Windows 2000 has a command "net send" which can send a quick message however this may not work well for thier purposes becuase it is from the command line and has to be formatted correctly.

Hey -- thanks. I owe you one. This worked perfectly for what they need. I think they can handle the command line, but just in case I put it in a text file on their desktop so they can just copy/paste if they forget.

The simple solutions are usually the best.
