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 both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX network protocols. 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.
At VyPRESS, we recognize that most small local area networks (LANs) have no professional network administrator to manage software installation and provide user training. Thus, one of our major goals when creating Vypress Chat was to develop chat software with absolutely zero management requirements. To achieve this, we deliberately left out certain advanced configuration features in order to make Vypress Chat 100% chat-ready immediately after installation. Now, all you need to create the easiest and most comfortable “talk environment” available for your SOHO network is to install the all-new Vypress Chat!
Key Features:

Bulletins may include rich text formatting (font faces, color, size, bold, underline, etc.), images, hyperlinks and expiration time. All these backed with magic smart, bandwidth-friendly background replication and RSA-based secure digital signature!
• Handy presence and “out of office” indication Users can see all other users in their network who have Vypress Chat running. Four user statuses are listed: Available, DND, Away, and Offline.
