IP Messenger client

Have a look at the following interesting IP Messenger client called iptux. It can be very useful for chatting and file sharing over LAN.

It would be nice to see it in PCLinuxOS.

Just as I use Pidgin for on line messaging I also use it for LAN IM too.

Simply use the Bonjour protocol on each machine and they become visible to each other.

Just mention it in case it was not realised .....  

EDIT
           Some info on some suitable apps here ... down the page a bit ...
