MS Comic Chat Version 2.1 beta 1 (8/18/97) (1.03 meg) (filename chat21b1.exe) 

  • From Microsoft.  This program does chat using a comic strip format. You choose a nickname, character to represent you, and a background setting. Then you're all set to see your chatting done as if it were a comic strip that is being written and drawn as the conversation proceeds. You can even give your character different facial expressions and body movements. I found it easy to set up and get online to MS IRC Server. Most of it is automatic. Just like the regular Chat programs and using the IRC in general this one too, takes some getting use to...even for us IRC veterans. P.S. it also works on regular IRC servers. The people on the other end just don't get the Comic effect if they don't have the software too.
Comic Chat Version 2 (1.11 meg) (4/27/97)

NetMeeting melds the power of the PC with the global reach of the Internet, to transform the everyday telephone call into a richer and more effective multimedia communication and collaboration experience. The built-in Internet phone support makes it easy for you to call family and friends around the world over the Internet. Multiuser data conferencing support allows two or more users to work together and collaborate in real-time over the Internet or corporate intranet using application sharing, whiteboard, and chat functionality. Internet Explorer 3.0 includes NetMeeting, helping to take it a step ahead for communication and collaboration. This is the latest (as of the date shown) release of Microsoft's Net Meeting Software. It also comes as part of MSIE 3.02.
