Thanks for the update. I haven't tried the lantalk on the homeserver yet, will probably give it a go tonight. It does work with Vista and XP home but I really don't like the IM interface look that it has, I really liked the way the net send messages looked and their delivery, too back Vista decided to shut them down. If anyone has other candidates that might be closer to the net send type messages please give me a shout.
I did find a web calendar that I linked to my homeserver site using whiist, I can't use it just yet with my messages but at least I have a web calendar that I can share with family and friends and easily control it from any client or the home server.
I tried the lantalk on the server and it worked fine, I also used it's scheduler and tested a message and it also worked from the server to XP Home and Vista. The big drawback was when I went to the price calculator and realized that it's going to cost me over $90.00 for the five licenses I'd need. So I guess I'm back to looking for something that will work but won't break the budget. The scheduler was not very user friendly and in fact down right confusing and much harder to setup than it should have been. If the cost wasn't so high I might have tried to live with it but as I have already said I don't like the IM interface and would rather have the net send type message box. If anyone else has anything I could try I would very much appreciate the input.
