On Windows (NT?) you used to be able to send a message across the LAN which would just pop up in a message box. Can't remember the command. Probably doesn't work anymore anyway.
Netsend, I get the feeling it's blocked by default now
IIRC, it uses NetBEUI/NetBIOS, can't realistically block it. (You could, but it's not easy, and there's little value in doing so).
But it's not been included in windows since about Vista. But it still works. Just gotta get a version from Win2k.
Edit: I was thinking of Windows Chat.
Edit2: Net Send was replaced by MSG
Oh! Duh! I knew I was forgetting something. Yeah, Windows/Android.
