I found jirc.com, and downloaded the demo. Haven't done anything with it though.
I don't really mess with Java (ick), but if you want to incorporate it into online.cgi, just find the documentation that the applet distributor will likely give you, and work from there. Something about params, and such.
that probably wasn't very helpful. But, thats because each applet is different and you will likely need specialized code for different applets. I'm skeptical about finding a free chat that you could incorporate into your own design.
PS:
I got your emails, buy my program sucks so I haven't gotten back to you. Documenting that one hack is great, but I wouldn't really call it a hack either. It's one of those quasi-hacks, a HTML hack. Tricky and annoying maybe, but not really code hacking. There are a bunch. But sure. As for your email, thanks...but i rarely use email. Sooooo 1997. I mostly am on ICQ (55129078), if you want to contact me.
