Can anyone recommend some software for instant messaging on a LAN, preferably freeware.
I would particularly want the ability to "buzz" other computers, rather like Yahoo Messenger.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi Terry,

I did a quick google and found this:-

All freeware

May be of use to you?

Regards

Jamie

Thanks Jamie,
I did some Googling too; there is a lot on offer $:-\$
However, I have downloaded MessengerLAN ( http://messengerlan.com/ ) which has buttons for quick pre-set messages & sounds which will be helpful for the situation I have in mind.
I'll check it out at home first.
Terry.

I have found what seems to be a suitable program: Winpopup LAN Messenger http://www.winpopup-lan-messenger.com/index.html
It is free for up to 3 computers so will do the job.
I've tested it at home and everything works on XP and Vista. None of the others I tested worked at all.

Winpopup LAN Messenge does all I need, particularly pre-defined messages with sound in addition to sending files and chat.

Terry.
