There is a Java based IRC client somewhere, so it does actually use an IRC server behind the scenes, but the users needn't know that, they can just use it from their web browser. This has the bonus that people who do know how to use a more featureful IRC client can use that to take part. See <http://www.jpilot.com/>, apparently it costs $40 (US) which isn't that much. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
