I just set up a home network and would like to have an
instant messaging system set up just for my home network,
separate from the internet, to communicate with my three
kids. I can't seem to find Winpopup on my system if it is
even available anymore. All four of my computers are
running XP. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

XP uses the "net send" command from a command prompt.

For a WinPopup equivalent, get the free RealPopup program:
