Messages from Linux to Windows

Hi!
I would like to find out if it is possible to send messages from linux( say RH *.*) to windows workstations. The way you send a message from windows to windows via net send IP "message".

Thanks a lot!

Try LinPopUP. you can get it from frmfind. if you are using mandrake then your installation CD will have the rpm for it

you can also use samba alone to send and receive messages
to send a message use the following command
smbclient -M <username whome you want to send> -U <your name> -W <workgroup>

I just get a 'session request failed' message.. i heard m$ fixed the ability of linux to send messages in it's service pack, is this true?

if it is, is there another way? and i can't use linpopup, as this is on a server and i just want to talk to it through a perl script
