I've just written something that does this. It is similar to QuickConference (CE software), but does not require a server. It works fine, but won't be finished for a couple of weeks (I need to add preferences, and a couple of things). It shouldn't interfere with anything else that you are running. It does not use extensions. The "chatting" is done via UDP. > Something that has a sound alert for messages would be tops! This program can play a sound, and bring itself to the front when it receives a message. If you can wait, and are interested in playing around with it, let me know off list. If not, then I can recommend QuickConference for local private networks. We've used it at our office for a couple of years. You just type your message and hit the enter key. Ta, Andrew
