Vypress Chat is a user-friendly application for real-time chatting in small or home office (SOHO) local networks. This unique chat software features an easy-to-understand format for text-based conferences and discussions. Vypress Chat does not require an Internet connection or a dedicated server to support discussions, and all users have equal access to the application's tools and functions. Vypress Chat enables individuals to instantly communicate about joint projects, and managers can send instantaneous memos to individuals, departments, or the entire company. Vypress Chat works with TCP/IP network protocol. You get an interface comparable to mIRC's graphical IRC interface, and system tray functionality similar to that of ICQ. Also available is IP Multicast protocol support. The IP Multicast allows Vypress Chat to operate over WANs or in complex routed network environment.
