It allows you to communicate with "any" number of people, just like VMS Phone util. It's pretty good and if I were to yell about it at all - It's dogfood slow and you cannot talk across servers. It uses the Netware send command over and over. If you want it holler. That one is the public domain one and does not use windows I think. The one by Riverbend DOES work across servers and is reasonably fast although when typing it only sends a line at a time. -Al
