i'm not personally aware of any messaging program that does that... but it sounds like something someone out there might have tackled. check out www.sourceforge.net to see if they have anything.

Hi there ,

I'm found out that SMBCLIENT -M name -Uusername%password

works fine , name is the receipiant ( my W98 machine ) , since i shared derictories with password i have to provide a username and password.

good luck ,
