I need to send alert messages immediately to a few named computers out of several hundred. The machines are all Windows based, but some cannot use Microsoft .NET Remoting (unfortunately). We also would like to go through firewalls. Here are some options I'd like to consider:
- Sockets (Negative factors: Effort, Must open port)
- Microsoft .NET Remoting HTTP (No .NET Framework on some)
- Purchase third-party package. (Positive: Quick, Easy to support)
The ideal is to do direct communication over the network without .NET Framework and through firewalls. I'd prefer not to use DCOM or Corba. Can you recommend a third-party messaging package that we might evaluate (even if it's not ideal).

See link below. The last one, WinPopUp is very popular.

Link above is broken already. For broadcasting messages I recommend Softros, it supports subnets and Terminal Services. Company support is responsive, they can help you to setup network settings correctly.
