WHO Overview
Overview

The who client is a user information program that lets you see who's online. You can page and chat with other callers using WHO. Used as part of the Navigator, this program lets callers view the remote system  in a different way that has the look of Windows 95. The Navigator interface creates a user interface for remote systems that is easy to use and flexible.
