Net send, broadcast

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have used "net send" to send popup-message to XP-client on my LAN.
Can I use "net send" to send broadcast message to XP-computer on many
subnets at the same time ?
If not, are there any other program that I can use thar use services
"messanger" ?

¨Tank's for your answer.
I use "net send" today to send popup-message. OK
My question is if I can use "net send" or any other program to send
broadcast message to my own subnet and other subnets. Have tested "net send
/DOMAINomainamme message". Will be sent to my own subnet but not to others.
I use the service=Messanger. OK.
