WinXP does not come with a LAN Messenger? What should I
use in it's place?????? Tryed a lot of them, but most
have to have other users also using same software. Any
ideas on one that will work with most networks and most
software messengers

Greetings Todd,

For a universal (somewhat) internal Messenger, you can use LanTalk XP:
http://www.lantalk.net

One of its advantages is that it uses the 'Messenger Service' (otherwise known as 'WinPopUp'
in previous versions of Windows).
