Christian, There are some CGI (Perl and others) apps that can provide an interface to IRC. (I use that when I'm on a low profile desktop and don't want to struggle with Java).

The only viable options fitting your description are going to be Java-based. I have seen Java Applet IRC clients. Normally they run as an applet, but I presume they could be run from WebStart as well. See: http://kawaii-radio.net/chat/chat.php For an example. I presume there are instant messenger-type ones somewhere too. There may be some "ajax-y" Javascript chat client thing floating around somewhere. However, that's likely to put quite a strain on your web server. Javascript doesn't have networking by default, so everything has to come from/to the original server. -a -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list ===========End of original message text=========== Urivan A.
