It does exactly what you're needing to do. Apple Jam will allow 20 users to communicate on your AppleTalk network, and it works pretty well. It should be available either on sumex or MACSERVE@PUCC.BITNET. If you can't find a copy on either of them, let me know and I'll send you one. ||+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|| || Blayne Puklich nopuklic@plains.NoDak.edu || || NDSU Student ACM use this-> NU087763@NDSUVM1.bitnet || || Chairperson North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND || || || || "Everyone should have a Corvette, I think." || ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
