The MSN version 5 supports .NET and Exchange messaging. I currently use it on an Exchange 2000 box. IM is no longer supported in current versions of Exchange, they would force us into buying Microsoft Office Live Communication Server. (or you can just keep an E2000 box up with only those services running) -Jason ________________________________ From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 2:03 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Messenger http://www.MSExchange.org/ If you are talking about the IM feature of Exchange 2000, it is really only designed for internal use, if you want them to have external access I would highly recommend you take a look at Microsoft Office Live Communication Server.
