IM Solutions in the Office.

[spudmessy]

Alot of SA are blocking the major IM networks in office environments. I was wondering if there were any alternative solutions or ways to get around this besides eMessenger.net

I remember the good old days of BBS where one person could just use Telix and dialup the other person and chat and even share files. I don't need a whole list of people to conference with, just good ol one on one chatting.

Is there any IM/chatting software that can do this nowadays without going through a network or server? It seems like a very simple thing to do. Are there software where you can directly connect to another peer, like the way you connect to a FTP server by simply keying in their IP address. I've search for ages on download.com and softpedia with no luck. Perhaps someone here knows of someway.

Cheers.

Just curious if youve tried any of the Online Live Chat rooms that some forums have...

If i can't use messenger i lie to use webmessenger.msn.com.
looks and works just like msn 7 but it's web based.

Actually I'm more looking more a direct connection kind of communication software without any third party/server and stuff like that. It's just weird and unbelievable that there is none around.

There is, which is java-based I think, no software or anything, just load the page and log in.

Hmm that's like eMessenger for AIM.

I'm still trying to look for a solution on this but no luck.
