Try smbclient -M computername

(The m is a M and not a m)

You can also use the Talk command (must be installed)

hmmm, smbclient -M ....... works well; what should windows machines use to reply?

Tried once to figure that out. Problem is that linux doesn't have a daemon process listening for 'net send' traffic. Supposedly there is a service for that, but I didn't figure that out.
