Hey, Talking is a viable option, though less convenient depending on the distance between the computers. My brother and I used to chat over msn/gtalk despite being in the same house. A normal use case was sending a link then going to his room to show/chat about the page. Without the initial step then either I'd have to go get him and bring him back to my pc or take up more time trying to navigate back to the same page. You could always setup your own internal chat server or join up to one of the mainstream ones, though xmessage may fulfill the need as `echo "hey"|xmessage -nearmouse -file -` is simple enough. cheers, Owen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
