I love my Lunch time menu internal communication system

Steve has a problem.  He has a small network and because he wasn't wacko like me, didn't catch Live Communication Server.  So now he's looking for INTERNAL ONLY nothing going out the firewall thank you very much [no MSN hotmail need apply] for an internal IM system. 

In fact I need to load up LCS 2005 with it's new communicator thingy...but I've not got around to it because I don't really need all those VOIP, forward to cell phone, internal routing of calls do-dads-thingy-whatchamacallits-wingdings here.  We like plain phones that just work, thank you.  And IM is really just for the 'ping' for “what do you want for lunch” and “hey, there's a call on line 2, you want to cut that one you are on short?”

Sometimes..like with the Audiovox 5600 phone geek toys are WAY cool.  But sometimes simple is just better and all we need.

Vlad blogged about his same problem earlier.

Keep in simple, that's all we really need.

Got any other ideas for Steve?
