Send messages between 2 Ubuntu PCs (Net Send Style)

In the microsoft universe you can do funny things with the net send command. According to this I have two questions regarding the ubuntu side of things:

Is there a similar service for sending messages between linux systems?
Is there a service that allows you to send messages from within linux to a windows PC implementing the net send protocol?

try to open empathy from dash and tell me if you liked it
