Instant messenger for a LAN
Question:
how do I obtain instant messaging without using the internet?
Answer:
Are you asking about sending instant messages on a personal or home network? One with no connection to the Internet?
Response:
Yes, No internet connection, rather through personnal office network.
Answer:
Okay. So you want to send instant messages through a home or office network, and that network is not connected to the Internet.
There are a few options:
RealPopup - RealPopup is an instant messenger for LAN environments. No Internet access is needed - just use RealPopup to send and receive chat messages on your office or home network.
InterChat - Similar to RealPopup, InterChat also provides a few more features, including the ability for skinning (better visual customization).
Both instant messaging tools are freeware.

Just try google search by “lan chat”, “lan messenger” keywords.

The reason I picked the two products I did was because those products are free. LAN messenger is not. They do, however, have a free trial, so you can see what you’re getting before you purchase.
