http://www.icq.com/groupware/ That is ICQ's free server version. It will allow you to setup a local ICQ network for your users to communicate. From what I read (rather quickly) it gives a few special features, but downloads and uploads will be fast across the network, as well as just regular message sending. have never personally used it, but I have seen it in action. They used a very small 233Mhz box, with 64MB RAM and it was extremely fast. The catch? Yup, not supported with *NIX. I'm not sure at this time if anyone has made a port, but it would be nice. ICQ only right now, supports Windows NT 4.0. -jwp Justin W.
