I have not yet installed the Telegram communications package but have heard of great things from those that have. It is supposed to be blazingly fast, fairly secure (?), partially OSS and proprietary and uses the latest and best communications protocols. What has been said about Telegram: Quoted description: "Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s superfast, simple and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any of your phones, tablets or computers. With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc) to people who are in your phone contacts and have Telegram. You can also create groups for up to 200 people or send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all your personal or business messaging needs..." https://telegram.org ..and its new protocol: https://core.telegram.org/img/mtproto_encryption1.png The product is available on all major operating systems: https://desktop.telegram.org Jim
