Hi Brian!
Messenger does not support point-to-point. You can let Microsoft know
that you'd like to see this feature by using the Send Feedback command
under the Help menu in any Office application.
In the meantime, but sure to search some of the open source solutions
currently available. You'll find a few applications that do support this.
Hope this helps!

Bill,
Thanks for your help. I noticed there were third-party solutions that don't
require a server but was hoping Instant Messenger supported this
configuration.
Thanks again,
Brian
