Hello all,

I would like to be able to use something like MSN messenger to notify people
that an event occured.

an example of this would be a sales guy is out on the road and places an
order for one of his customers.
our server would send out a message via email and something like MSN
messenger telling the manager an order has been placed.

in this day and age I wouldn't think this would need to be written from
scratch with apps like MSN, ICQ, YAHOO, AOL instant messengers.

thanks,
Jay
 
Not MSN Messenger, but Windows Messenger is sufficiently programmable to do
this
 
Keep in mind that in any IM system, user has to be online in order to receive
the message, so in your system why don't you just emails from the server to
the appropriate people. Otherwize there're a few implemenations of MSN IM
protocol on the http://www.codeprojects.com
