cross platform(Win/Linux) LAN chat software


hi,

I am looking for a cross-platform LAN IM software for use on my home network, i've got some windows vista & Debian boxes.

Is there any such software? I have looked around sourceforge and freshmeat. I tried J-Lan Communicator, it didnt work

thanks in advance

Easiest would be IRC, you can run the daemon on one machine and connect to it whatever client you want. There are hundreds of IRC clients spread out on basically every platform out there.
