This page will serve as a reference for links that may come in handy for anyone.  I will start them with a couple I have found very useful.  Should you have any other links you'd like to contribute, please email me the details by clicking below.

ICQ

This handy little program was the first of the online messaging facilities and I believe it to be the most robust.  Two people with this program can exchange text messages, conduct a text chat and best of all, carry on a 
PC-PC telephone call. Install this program, invest in a headset and you can talk with your distant friends and rellies without worrying about those crippling STD and ISD charges.  Click on the icon for download, install and usage instructions.
 

NetMeeting

Never let it be said that Microsoft missed out on someone else’s good idea. This is Uncle Bill’s equivalent to ICQ.  In my opinion not as stable, but it does include some extra bells and whistles.  For those of you who feel the 
need to contribute to Uncle Bill’s coffers, this is the way to go.  Click on the icon for download, install and usage instructions.
