The good is that it has a log, quotes the last message in the reply, lets each member be part of a group and puts those people together. Additionally the really cool part is that it supports file transfer including folder transfer as well ....
Its freeware and maintains a small footprint about 5 MB of memory, peer to peer, scalable and almost never interferes with other applications.

Hey, not completely sure but I have a decent idea, when you run Ipmsg on your system it runs ona TCP / UDP port of 2425 that is continuously listening. When a user on the same network open an instance of it, ipmsg scans the local network for any machine where the program is running by checking the 2425 port and picking up information about the user from the application.
ReplyDeleteIt runs only on the local subnet as it would immpossible to scan the entire network for open connections. If required you could always add an external IP address for the program to scan.
Hope that helps !
