We use two java interfaces for chat. One is Palace, and can be found at
http://www.thepalace.com. Palace is a great little server, and chat interface with Avitars, and graphical backgrounds. They have servers for Linux, and NT. Palace is alse used by ZDTV. If you would like to see an example of this interface you can try our test page at
http://chat.infosite.org/test1.htmThe second interface we use from Mirosoft. It is a java interface for an IRC server, and works with many IRC servers on linux and NT. It comes as part of the Microsoft Chat SDK.
This kit has Java and ActiveX chat interfaces and examples on designing your own interface. The kit is missing one thing, an IRC server. Two good things about the Microsoft Chat SDK is that it is [:red]FREE, and it works well with Navagator and IE on Linux, MAC, and Windows. If you would like download the ChatSDK, or see a test chat room go to this URL.
