Created at MIT, as part of Project Athena, Zephyr was designed as an instant messenger protocol and application-suite with a heavy Unix background. Using the "do one thing, do it well" philosophy of Unix, it was made up of several separate programs working together to make a complete messenging system.

Zephyr is still in use today at few university environments such as CMU, Iowa State, Stanford University, University of Maryland, College Park, and, of course, MIT. It has been largely replaced by modern and more popular instant messenger systems such as AIM or Jabber.
