Internal mail or chat MS98 and NT to Linux

[Chris Janicki]

Wall is very old (not pretty by today's standards), and I don't know if 
implementations work outside of Unix.  This sounds like a job for Java! 
 For example, Yahoo! offers a Java version of thier instant messenger 
that should run identically on all your platforms.  There are other Java 
solutions too:  search Google with "Java instant messaging".
