Q: I have a LAN network without access to the Internet. But the e-mail facility is available within the LAN. I am looking for Instant Messaging software that can be used in the LAN, without residing in the server.
Can I have an Instant Messaging service (freely downloadable) without the help of a server.
The program was to be loaded in the user terminal and could be used to send instant text messages to all users connected to the LAN (not Internet). Please tell me how I go about it.
A: Nowadays, lot of third-party instant Messaging software is available as freeware. One such freeware utility that you can use is QuickMessenger. Operating systems: Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 support it. It can be downloaded from this URL: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/quickmessenger.html
QuickMessenger is simple tool that provides an enhanced interface for Windows Messenger and allows you to send text messages from one computer to the other or to a group of computers (on the LAN). It uses the windows ‘net send’ command. You can thus send messages to anyone, even if they don’t have QuickMessenger.
Its added features allow you to add a signature to the message and make use of predefined messages. So you do not have to type common messages over and over again. You can get a list of other freeware utilities from the following URL: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/conflan.html
