Use Peer to Peer with non IBM laptops

[Cassirer]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the peer to peer function (inparticular the chat and whiteboard functions) in the Thinkvantage with a non Thinkpad laptop ... i.e. if I downloaded it from the IBM site and installed in on the a Toshiba would it function ... or is there another way to achieve this ...

Thanks in advance
