Combadge

Combadge is a real time email companion, perhaps best described as a cross between a talk, chat and email. Combadge will let you chat in real time with other Combadge users without needing to know where they are - you simply use their email address and Combadge finds them. If they are not running Combadge, then Combadge will send your message to them using email so you do not even need to know if they have Combadge. Version 1.1 uses your email client to send offline messages instead of handling email sending internally. Features * Easy User Interface. * Real time chatting if both parties have Combadge. * Email messages if they do not have Combadge. * Connect using email address. * Log conversations to email. * Automatic configuration. * Answering machine facility. Combadge requires a Macintosh with Internet connectivity. Combadge is US$25 shareware. Site and organisation-wide licenses are also available for US$500 and US$2000 respectively.
