ChatNet provides the simplest Macintosh interface to chat and send
files on the Internet or a Local Area Network. ChatNet offers two
modes for chat. The AppleTalk Mode allows multiple Macintosh computers
running ChatNet to chat or send files on a Local Area Network, with or
without a Server. The IRC Mode allows chat and file transfer through
an Internet Relay Chat Server. ChatNet acts as a client program
providing a button oriented graphical interface for all IRC functions.
There is no need to know any IRC commands.
ChatNet can provide security and control over the entire Chat
environment as everyone is concerned about the possibility of children
encountering unsuitable material or conversation, especially on the
Internet. ChatGuardian and ChatWatcher preference settings give
complete control over the ChatNet environment from completely open to
very restrictive. ChatGuardian gives you control over room access and
message content by screening out words and phrases that are
preselected. ChatWatcher keeps a log of all conversations. IRC Server
access can also be controlled.
ChatNet is the perfect tool for homes, schools, businesses, and
departmental workgroups. Hold online group conferences or have one-to-
one private communication. Workgroups can discuss project status,
strategy, and reach each other for questions and answers at the click
of a button. All communication can be saved or printed for later
reference.
The Demo allows 20 minutes of IRC connect time per login or unlimited
time for up to 3 AppleTalk users.
