Does anyone know a simple LAN messaging system that auto-focuses when another person says something, includes a "Send message" feature within the recieved message box, and doesnt need signed in / autosigns in? Something like Windows Messenger but without a contact list, just "Send message to LAN" or such and where hitting [X] hides the application, but it can still recieve messages.

I've drawn a mspaint of a "dream application" to do this

You can use the net send command or have a small script built around it...

Try Google search... something like LAN messenger...

Softros LAN messenger for example..

All these little LAN messaging programs are handy and not require a computer skills. They looks Like ICQ or MSN style..
