LanToucher Network Chat Overview
Designed as a "net send" and WinPopup replacement, LanToucher Network Chat provides compatibility with Microsoft WinPopup (Windows 95/98/ME), Messenger service / 'net send' (Windows NT4/2000/XP/Server 2003) and Samba client (Unix/Linux). LanToucher Network Chat takes up minimal memory and network resources. In the main window you can send your messages to a specific recipient or to all computers at once, reply to incoming messages and view the history. You can minimize the program and let it stay in the system tray using the ESC key. You can always restore the program by clicking the tray icon or pressing the CTRL+` keys at the same time. Newer messages are placed in the bottom of the message history box of LanToucher Network Chat while the old ones go up. This is a great feature as it allows you to keep track of what has been said.
LanToucher Network Chat Key Features
- Proven cross-platform compatibility LanToucher Network Chat is fully compatible with Messenger service / 'net send' (Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003), WinPopup messenger (Windows 3.x/95/98/Me), Samba smbclient (Unix/Linux) and a broad range of compatible Network Chats based on the standard SMB/CIFS protocol.
- All 32-bit Windows versions support LanToucher Network Chat supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista operating systems.
- Low memory and network bandwidth usage Unlike most fancy chat applications, LanToucher Network Chat needs less than 8 megabytes of RAM and generates minimal network traffic.
- True peer-to-peer (serverless) connectivity LanToucher Network Chat does not require a dedicated server, so users can communicate directly with one another.
- Multiprotocol support LanToucher Network Chat works perfectly over any available network transport protocol (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or NetBEUI).
- Advanced Messenger service support (Windows NT4/2000/XP/Server 2003) This feature fully controls the state of the Messenger service. Unlike other compatible chat programs for intranets, LanToucher Network Chat pauses the service at startup, and restarts it on exit so that you could still receive messages using the Messenger service before logging on, after logging off, and while at the Welcome screen (Windows XP and Windows Vista).
