real time text chat using airport

Hardware Hacks

Hi Folks, my boss and I want to be able to chat live to each other in conferences and meetings using an airport network. What software can we use for this? So far we've resorted to putting word files in each others drop boxes! Please help!

We're both on ibook g4's.

Cheers,

Gary
