Messages in a LAN (Workstation to Workstation) 1

[LuRSH]

Hi Folks!

I work in a warehouse and we have about 13 Workstations (PCs Running Win 95/98, with MS Office 2000) and a Server (Running Win NT 4.1 no Office installed here).

What I would like to be able to send messages from workstation to workstation (preferably using MS Outlook). Those workstations are spread in the warehouse and it would save a lot of time. What do I need? Is just a matter of configuration or do I need to install/buy other software(s).

Thanks in advance!

first of all, i think you went into the wrong forum. pls try windows NT or exchange forums next time.

to answer your question, you have three options:

1. to send message from one station to another or a group of users, you can use the NET SEND from the command prompt of the sending user.

2. use MS Mail which is a workgroup type of mailing system.

3. for a more powerful and better collaborative tool, you can use either MS Exchange or Lotus Notes.

Somebody tried the SharePoint Portal Server? We are making the first steps to implement it and I need some comments of people that already tried it! Thank you!

Does anyone have experience with Sharepoint server and Crystal Enterprise. More specifically, using Crystal web parts in a Sharepoint dashboard? Web parts work when crystal enterprise and sharepoint are on the same server. Although, when Crystal enterprise is located on a nother server the web parts break down. any suggestions?

Thanks,
David
