Re: lan messenger communication via ubuntu
It looks like iptux is only compatable with other iptux clients.
Since you did get softros working on wine please add your experiences to the wine appdb entry for the benifit of other wine users.

I found some messengers for linux like iptux, yet I was able to find out that it is not possible to communicate with another messenger like softros (I gave it a shot). This does not mean that iptux might not work while using both windows and ubuntu boxes connected to the same lan, yet this time all use the same lan messenger.
Then, I installed wine while using wubi. I do not think that using wine under an ordinary ubuntu desktop installation will have a difference. Finally, I installed softros under wine and it worked, provided that the version installed was compatible with the version of the main server. Even different versions of the same program might not cooperate with each other.
Hope this helps,
