What is Chatter? Chatter is a program that allows more or less real time text message communication with other computers that are running Chatter and are connected to an AppleTalk network. It can support up to 4 connections at once, and does not require program linking to be turned on. At the user's request, it can install an extension, Chatter Listener, in the System Folder so that the user can be notified of connection requests when Chatter isn't running.
Network impact statement:
Chatter is very network friendly. It only sends broadcasts when searching for other Chatter users. Packets are sent when the user hits return, presses send, or selects a new icon during a conversation. The icon data it transmits is only about 2 kilobytes ( this translates to be about 5 or 6 AppleTalk packets, which is fairly trivial. ) Download Chatter for Mac
