I'm wondering if anyone has seen an application that does the following. I'm looking for a peer to peer type chat program that runs on OS X and windows. I don't want to have to sign up with MSN or Yahoo and login to one of their servers. I just want to be able to install some software on my computer, and on my wifes computer, that will allow us to send bits of info, like URL's, back and forth in realtime. Has anyone seen software like that out there? Thanks, Spencer.

iChat's Rendezvous chat will do this.

Rendezvous (just renamed to Bonjour) will only work if you're connected to the same LAN. If that's the case, you'll want Trillian 3.0 Pro for Windows from www.trillian.cc . It's the best chat application you can get for Windows and it supports Rendezvous just like iChat. You can send text messages and do audio chats. Video chats are possible, too, if you own two webcams.

iChat will communicate with any other Mac running iChat or any computer running AOL Instant Messenger.
