We have a NT 4.0 network with about 60 users all running Win98. Large majority of users are salespeople - who spend many hours each day on the phone. Am looking for suggestions/recommendations on some type of chat type program that would allow salespeople to relay information via there computers to other salespeople while they are are not phone. Am not looking at a chat room. Network is all TCP/IP with DCHP assigning our IP address.

Thanks for the help
Jeff

There's hardly enough room here for a lot of details, but with NetMeeting you have a peer-peer, serverless chat, which can include video/voice if you have the equipment. You also have shared whiteboard capability, shared program capability, concurrent file update for take your pick: spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Word reports, etc.

The software has exactly the right price--free.

All I can suggest is setting up 2-3 machines and putting your most astute users on them for a day or two.
