CommFort 2 is a client-server chat for local area network. The software combines all attributes of the best network communication utility such as channels-based chat, voice chat support, user profiles, file and folder transfers, sound notification system and 100 graphical emoticons to spice up your chat. The program also allows you to insert pictures directly to the chat window and leave a message on the server if the recipient has gone offline. All features are delivered in a well-rounded user interface, which is very easy to learn for both chat first-timers and experienced users. CommFort supports the communication of up to 1000 people simultaneously. Compared to the previous version, CommFort 2 is more reliable and functionally rich. Thanks to the implementation of the new protocol, the load on the network is a fraction of what it was. Sensitivity to network errors has been minimized as well, which results in more stable chat performance. Version 2 features a full-fledged channel architecture, which allows you to create general channels and invite guests. Each of the channels has a separate list of users. If users want to talk to each other privately, they can do this in the private channel, or by sending private messages. The release also features a voice chat, which allows users to communicate with each other using microphones. Voice chat works in the full duplex mode. What's more, CommFort has been optimized to allow users to paste bigger pictures to the chat window and send files much faster than in the previous version.
