Hi, does anyone have some suggestions to a good way to implement a solution
to the following?

I need to be able to communicate short text messages to hundreds of
computers. That is, there is a "main administrator" sitting at his machine,
and he needs to be able to send text messages simultaneously to many other
"workstations" (the messages should pop-up on the workstations).

The workstations could be connected on the same LAN, or across the internet
from the administrator machine.

Thanks for any tips,
Peter

There are already tools for this that come with Microsoft Windows. NET SEND
should work if the sending of messages is all you need..but you need to make
sure the appropriate service(s) are running first...

Can the administrator send the same message simultaneously to multiple
workstations using NET SEND?
