can 2 computers talk to one another?

[kevinvr]

Hi All,
I want to buy 2 licences/copies of ultrahal and load Hal on my desktop pc and on my notebook(which is on my robot)and have them chat to one another. They are both connected to the internet through a wireless connection.  Is it possible to do this, and how?
I think I got this working in the past, but I can't remember how to do it.
Thanks
Kevin

i wrote a lot of ideas here, then realized they were not water tight....and erased them and wrote this instead.
long story short....don't know an easy way.

A few years back someone wrote an interface to allow Alice to talk to Hal and visa-sersa, so yes two  computers can talk to each otheror to put in the correct text two computer programs and talk to each other.

Yes I remember a few years back using aim or IRC(I think)to get two hal programs to converse, but then AIM did something to stop it from working if I remember correctly.  Maybe Jerry remembers it?
Thanks!

Yes, that is when AIM stopped using TOC 1 and started TOC 2 but Robert fixed the AIM bot to work with TOC 2 so we are good for that.

you can get two different brains to talk to each other by starting two different sessions of AIM bot using different brains if you like, you can even do it with more than two brains so long as it doesn't bog down your system.

the bots will have to have different screen names as AIM bots but that's a simple one to do.

I just signed on ziggyoracle for you. I usually use AZiggyBot because this bot has hundreds of buddies on its buddy list. if the bots drop offline it is because they either being updated with a plugin or the internet went down which happens a lot here is the Sierra's.

Thanks Jerry
I will try them both out. Probably on the weekend because school takes up all my time in the week:)
kind regards
Kevin
