The Chat module allows you to call other users on your
network and have a real-time conversation via your computer.
Chat can accommodate up to five users in any single conversation.
Chat will only operate with NetBIOS or IPX (Novell) networks.
You must load RHM with a username other than the GLOBAL user
before the Chat feature will work.
Answer: Answers an incoming chat request. Upon answering a
call, the user attempting the call is displayed, and
you are given the opportunity to Accept or Decline the
conversation. If you accept, the chat request is
answered, giving you two windows; usernames and full
personal names are displayed on the windows. At this
point, you and the caller can type messages
simultaneously, engaging in a conversation. The chat
continues until either person presses <ESC> or selects
Exit to terminate the conversation.
Call: Used to call another user or users. To request a chat,
select Call, then select the user you wish to call from
the list of users. RHM will then prompt you to hit any
key to continue. "Ringing user" indicates that the
user you are calling has been located on the network,
and your call is going through. "Locating User"
indicates that the user is not using RHM on the
network. A "Do Not Disturb" accompanied by a personal
message indicates that the user is not receiving calls.
DND: Do Not Disturb. When engaged, DND will not acknowledge
chat requests as they occur. The next time you
activate the Chat module there will be a message
notifying you of up to four attempted chat requests.
On: Turns on the DND feature. Allows you to set
a custom message (e.g., "Out to Lunch.") that
will appear on the screen of the user who
attempts a chat request.
Off: Turns off the DND feature.
Status: Displays the DND status and do not disturb
message.
Exit: Exits the Chat module, bringing you back to the main
program opening screen or any underlying modules.
