Free Chat Software
NetChat
In short, NetChat is a
PC to PC messaging program but it can definitely achieve much more!
You can use it to send messages to friends/colleagues, hold a discussion
with multiple users, transfer files etc. It does not require a server
to run and is 100% TCP/IP based. You can use NetChat in an Intranet/Internet
environment with ease because it is really user-friendly! Unlike
other chat programs that can be sophiscated or badly designed, NetChat
is simple and requires no extra configuration. Simply key in your
friend's IP and that's it! NetChat is a wonderful tool that has
great potential for add-ons and enhancements.

conference. NetMeeting's Program Sharing feature lets you flexibly

NetMeeting
Relay Chat
"Ok, so I wrote a little
scanner that looks at ILS Servers, and it works great (finally)!
People can now find each other no matter which ils server they happened
to log into. One day Greg (the webmaster) and I were looking through
all the peoples information that they were putting into NetMeeting
to try to get people to talk to them, and it became apparent that
the little fields that NetMeeting gives you just aren't enough!
So, we cooked up the idea that it would be great to actually chat
with someone in a chat room environment to get to know them first,
and, when you find someone you like (or has something intelligent
to say), you just click on them to chat! Couple that with the ability
to share a webpage link, a picture taken from your video camera,
and as much personal description as you want, and you have NetMeeting
Relay Chat!" (Nick and Greg from netmeetinghq.com)

features, including channels and a channel manager, private chat,

can then access the server using their assigned user name and password
(unless you run it open to the public). The client application can
also be branded by displaying custom HTML in the browser bar (optional).
