Fomine NetSend is a package that contains two utility tools for sending messages via SMB protocol.
This first tool NetSend is a console application with a parameter set similar to NET SEND. But unlike NET SEND, this application works with all Windows versions.
The second utility tool NetSend has a simple and user-friendly visual interface. Program's window contains two fields. The first one is the addressee field and the second one is the message field.
In addition, Fomine NetSend's window displays a list of computer names in the network and their descriptions.
Fomine Net Send GUI re-enables your PC to send and receive instant messages over LAN and fulfils the need for Net Send command to all who got used to it.
This list is formed automatically when the program is launched and you can refresh it any time if you press Refresh button.
Thus, you don't have to memorize names of computers in the network and type them in manually. All you have to do is to select appropriate computer from the list and its name will automatically appear in the addressee field.
Fomine NetSend is fully compatible with the following messaging software: Microsoft WinPopup, Fomine WinPopup, Fomine Messenger, Microsoft Messenger Service.

· Unlike NetBIOS used by Winpopup, the TCP/IP protocol used by Net Send GUI is securely controlled by firewalls and is completely protected against the spam issue.
· Net Send GUI is fully compatible with Winpopup LAN Messenger, OfficePopup and similar applications.
· There is a receive-only version that allows your network users to receive messages, but provides no means to send any
