Paul,
I know that in NT, you can use the command netsend to talk to other NT
machines. I'm not sure if you can send it to a Win9X machine though.  To do
this, you can run it through dos, or you can try just through the
Start-->Run.  Type "netsend (machine name) (message)"  without quotes or
parenthesis.  Make sure you have the spaces.  I'm not sure if this would be
completely beneficial for you though, because this takes a little time to do
each time.  If nothing else works, you can use Aol Instant Messenger or
Yahoo Messenger...there are others also.  Hope this helps.

Subject: Intranet messaging...one more time.

Thanks for the replies.  "Winpopup.exe" allowed me to get this up and going
quickly.  I am, however, unable to get the NT's messaging working.  NT
doesn't have "winpopup.exe" like the rest, or at least not in a location
where I can find it.  The only thing that looks close to this is "messaging
service" but again, I am unable to run the executable.  I should note that
sending a message from a 98 to an NT produces the message on the NT.  Any
further ideas are appreciated.  Thanks again for your time.
Regards,
Paul Roeth
