If you ever used earlier versions of Windows, there was 'net send' ('course, that was Windows to Windows). I'd like to find something that I can script to send a lan IM, for example: "Filesystem /var is full!" Getting an IM lets me respond quicker than waiting to read the next morning's email. -- Thanks, Charles Reasons it's great to be a guy... You don't have to shave below your neck.
