instant messaging system for LANs

Posted by vishal nakra on 2000-03-24

i am making a simple instant messenger system for LANs in VB6, something along 
the lines of ICQ but not nearly so good :-). since i am new to VB and 
client-server applications both, i need help of all kinds. i am hoping to 
include message transfer between clients thru DCC, chat, offline message 
storing and file transfer. the database will be simple to begin with, in 
Access2000, and i will use ADO to communicate with it.packets will be TCP.
    those r the proposed features. if anyone has any ideas or source that will 
help me in making this, please let me know. i am new to all this so any and 
all help will be appreciated.someone told my partner in this that the 
application can be made using ASP or IIS. is this possible? i think it can 
probably be made with IIS but what about ASP?

thanks
