What should be its function? Blocking of pop-ups in the Browser? Some 
browser support it per Default.

Don't need it with Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox (or whatever it's called
now). Edit->Preferences->Privacy & Security->Popup Windows

et voila!

He's talking about that messaging software that used to come with Windows.

Sorry paul as I said it is a confusing name for the util in todays
world. the popup is not for blocking popups but rather sending messages
on the network internally from one system to another.
We use real popup and winpopup on the production line [running win] for
updating staff with instructions. I run FC1 currently.
This is faster and more effient [in our case] than email.
While the employee is working we send a popup which apears in a small
text block on his screen. You get some really fancy ones to like
4C-Softs SuperPOPup. But I am looking for linux a simple and small tool
to do the job.

Samba!
To send a message: echo "your message" | smbclient -M RecipientsMachine
More comfortable with this little script called winpopup.sh

#!/bin/bash
machine=$1
shift
echo $@ | smbclient -U $USER -M $machine

Then you can do
# winpopup.sh Recipient Hi there?

Try linpopup (GTk+) or linpopup2 (GTK+2;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linpopup2/)
If you are using KDE try Popper
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/kpopper/) or kpopup
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/kpopup/)

If you are a console user look at smbwatch
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbwatch/)

Or you can write a script yourself, look at:

[Harry Hoffman]

try "man smbclient" search for "-M"

If writing a script, you certainly don't require samba. Just apache,
wget, bash and then something pre-made or otherwise to open a box (eg
Xdialog).

Th OP wanted a tool "that is compatible with with realpopup and
winpopup". How to do that without samba?

Yes, you are right. The link is only to explain how to setup xterm or
whatever (I suggest zenity) to display the messages received.

Ooops, sorry, yes, normally I duck the MS stuff entirely. I'll try to
watch it more closely.

[Robert Vangel]

I recommend notifying whoever does these messages that Microsoft may 
removing the Windows Messenger Service from future versions of Windows 
because of the problems users get from people spamming them over the 
internet.

It is kind of off topic I know, but just felt like letting you know.
