Text messaging within same switch?

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to text message another user that is connected to the same switch? In my case it's a Catalyst 6509 running CatOS 8-5-2.

Thank you.

On theCatalyst 6500 running IOS you can use the "send" command. Don't know if there is a CatOS equivalent.

On netops screen on line 2 (vty 1) the message appears:
