Fomine Messenger is an Instant Messaging solution for local networks that requires absolutely no skill to set up or use.

Simply install the software on all users' PCs that require the messaging facility. Users then need to be added in order for you to exchange messages with them.

This is done by selecting their computer from a popup list, at which point they are added to your list of contacts. This needs to be done by both users wishing to send messages to each other.

Once set up, simply click on the user's icon and a chat window opens for messaging to begin.

Messages can be sent to users on a network who don't have Fomine Messenger installed, but the messaging will be one-way only. The message will appear on the user's screen in the form of a popup alert box.

It has full support for Winpopup and netsend, and hotkeys can be assigned to certain functions.
