We are thinking about having an intra office chat program rather than sending emails/calling for a quick message/note.
Can anyone recommend any programs? We would really want it to be purely internal, and not link to external chat programs, and also it would be useful if it kept a log of all chats. There would be about 15 users.
Thanks

LAN Messenger
I think Lan Messenger is probably what you are looking for.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lanmsngr/
This project seems to have been forked, there is a Lan messenger 3 but I have never used that version.
Hipchat is great from wherever you are, either in the office or remote.
I use it maybe 3-4 days a week and when I'm not logged in I get an email if anyone has sent me or an @all message.
In my last emploment we used Amteus. I've no idea what it costs.
It was rarely used for work - most employees just used it to [***] about with their workmates or [***] about other employees (although this can and was done via other methods too).
one of alternatives
Our small office uses this little app http://messenger.softros.com
it always get updates, send files, messages and even share desktops between users.
