NetChat Features:
- Instant Messaging for the small/home office network
NetChat provides a peer-to-peer solution for instant messaging for the small or home office. Using an interface
similar to the popular Instant Messaging software, NetChat provides the same features within the confines of a local
network. NetChat is the ultimate computer communication tool for the SOHO network!
- Similar features to Yahoo, AOL and MSN Messenger programs, without the security issues
NetChat provides network instant messaging similar to the bigger, public chat applications, but on your own private
network. There is no fear of a virus or other outside access as NetChat runs entirely in the confines of your own
secure network.
- Can be used as an electronic office in/out board
See when other users are in the office and available. Helps keep track of employees in a small office.
- Safe, Secure and Private Communications
Using standard protocols, we have devised a closed system of communication within a local network. Even on a local
network using private addresses, NetChat can allow users to communication without the threat of incoming data from the
real world.
- Customizable preset text messages
Version 2.0 allows you to configure preset messages which allows less typing when sending messages.
- True Peer-to-Peer Networking
With NetChat, you do not need a dedicated server computer or software to communicate. NetChat operates completely in a
peer-to-peer mode, allowing efficient communication directly between users on a network. There is no server, so each message goes
directly from sender to receiver, without having to be routed through a central computer on the network.
- Does not require Outlook components
NetChat is completely independent of any other software requirements on your PC. The only thing that is needed is a local area network
running the TCP/IP protocol.
- No Direct Internet Connection Required
NetChat works completely on a local Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol. However, it does not need a connection to the Internet.
If you do have an Internet connection, NetChat works on your local subnet, so it will not be accessible from the "outside world."
- Easy to Use
Getting started with NetChat is very easy - just install the software on two or more computers on the same local network and you will be prompted for some user settings.
You may then begin instant messaging in real-time with other users.
