    Can I use net send with Linux?

    I have my SuSE 8.2 laptop at work and I do about 90% of my job from it... the other 10% is on the Win2K desktop provided by my company for Access and E-Mail. Anyhow, I was wondering if I could send messages to Windows based systems? I know we can with Linux / UNIX and that Windows has the net send command that can be used from the CLI, but what or how would I use my Linux CLI to do this?
    One by one the penguins steal my sanity...

    Vanpooling now...

    smbclient -M hostname
    <enter your message>
    <press ctrl-d to stop>

    you could have found this by googling. i think it was in the second hit i got when i googled it as i had forgotten what the command was - or smbclient --help has it listed.
