There is a nice CHAT program on SIMTEL (I got it from the 
wuarchive.wustl.edu mirror site) in PD1:<MSDOS.LAN> directory
and the file name was CHAT205.ZIP.  This program is very similar
to Unix style talk - split screen display working a character at 
a time.   It works in some nice Novell and DOS specifics to select
the user to request.  

At my site, many users have begun using it instead of the phone.  The 
only thing I would like to see improved is a capability to select the 
server used for querying active connections.  Otherwise it has been a
very nice utility.
