Hi everyone,

My brother and I have been having a debate over whether there is a program that could allow us to instant message each other over internet sharing on our macbook pro's without being connected to the internet.

Anyone know of any such program?

Cheers

You could look into setting up a Jabber server on one of the machines. One example is OpenFire. One machine is the server and responsible for setting up users. You then each need a Jabber/XMPP client.
