I'm looking for a script or suggestion on replacing the NET SEND
functionality. We have the Windows messenger service disabled due to
messenger spam, which disables NET SEND functionality as well. I have
an application that uses (used) the NET SEND function to pop up
messages for users when the app was going to disconnect, and now need
to provide a similar function without enabling the messenger service.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff
