I am not talking about Windows Messenger.

In XP there is a messenger service running that can be used to send direct broadcasts to an ip address. This is the feature that spammers use to send pop ups...
Now my question is, in XP, which program can I use to actually use that service, to actually send a little text message to a user on network. How is it addressed....through IP address only?
