Sounds like an interesting idea. If you do write it, I see no problem with adding it as a module that can be enabled/disabled via the global control panel. I can see how it could be useful in an office enviroment where IM clients are not let through the firewall.

Would this kind of functionality require any external non PHP code?

It should be possible to do it natively, however I don't have enough info on the protcol yet to attempt it...

So, for now I'll write a class to handle sending messages, inside I'll check for windows and then use exec "net send MACHINE MESSAGE" in Windows...

Under all other OSes, I'll require that the SAMBA client be installed and use "smbclient -M MACHINE", for this one I have to fopen the process and write as if doing stdin for the body of the message...

I just need to make sure to do escapeshellargs on stuff, so no one can F-around with the command line.

If I get enough info to do it with a native socket connection, then later on I can replace both of those with the native socket version, putting it in a class should make it transparent to the rest of the code.
