I'm looking for a SIMPLE, free text chat program between computers on a network. Must be GUI, of course.
PLEASE DO ***NOT*** SAY --
1. Any microsoft software
2. any internet chat, like ICQ, Skype, Ichat, AIM, MSN messenger, Gmail, and on and on
3. Anything with video, telephone, internet dialing and the like.
The idea here is for 2 people on the same network to text chat with almost NO system slow-down. There was a program called DGDR Hermes that did this, but they have gone out of business. Any other ideas?
It needs to install on start up, sit in the tray, and use essentially NO resources at all. Any program that polls the internet frequently, and causes long system delays -- including MSN, ICQ, Skype and other "telephone over IP software" is not acceptable. Almost ALL internet software will cause unacceptable system delays.
I always search before asking a question, so the best input will be from personal experience, some free program that does GUI text chat ONLY and nothing else, and has essentially no system impact at all? Thx.
