I use Trillian for instant messaging, but I dont think I'll be able to get it to work across my LAN. What would be *Nice* would be to get the Net Send command to work through a dialup connection, skipping Messenger, AIM, etc. Unfortunatly, the Net View command, which is more or less required to verify the availability of another remote workstation, only works with a LAN. Grrr! By the way, what happened to the IRC channel?
