I am trying to send a message to all clients on my network (WIN95 and NT Workstation). Net send works for the workstation clients, and WinPop-up utility works for WIN95 clients, but it can be closed by the user. What I want to do is send a message that will pop-up on the screen of any user currently logged into the network. Any ideas?

How can I send/broadcast messages for telnet clients for NT4 server? This is not a telnet server per se, but a Lawson server (unix-like service, running on 8x00 ports), and has multiple clients accross the country.
Having to notify them of the maintenance shutdowns is a real pain, since the logons are not recognized by NT as NT sessions,and no messages from NT OS are transferred to Lawson clients.
