Hi list
Does anyone know of a program that can directly connect a Linux box to a
windoze box so that we can chat?
I recall doing a little search for a LAN chat program some while back.
These required no server and nothing more than a LAN...
I never tried it personally, but I remember coming across something
called Akeni Lan which was cross platform if i recall correctly.

Privacy is one thing, the other is with normal instant messengers, all clients
are dependant on the server. If the server is overloaded or unavailable, it
doesn't work.
By stateless I actually meant that it doesn't rely on a constant connection,
like if for instance it uses the UDP protocol to send messages and the TCP to
send acks or something?
Anyone know of such a beast?
With kind regards
Andy
