EZIM is a messenger like MSN or AIM however it is slightly different as it does not need a server to authenticate against to sign in, ias long as you get an ip address from a central dhcp server it will find other users within the ip scope.
It is very useful for use on domains as it allows admins to supply a simple messenger service to its members without the need to add more servers making life alot easier.
EZIM can be used on windows, linux, Mac OS X as well as any other OS which supports java.
It also contains a useful option which is to broadcast to all users as well as the standard private instant message.
