Swamper, can you run Java applications on some machine which is connected to the internet? (this can be practically any machine). I have created a kickass chat system which will be available commercially later this year. It's a pure Java solution which does NOT require a Java applet on the clientside but it renders the UI etc in pure HTML which makes it very lightweight and compatible. The system has all the imaginable features + I have successfully tested it with 1000 simultaneous robot connections so it should offer pretty good scalability as well  Anyway, since it's still in alpha (= some features will be added, there can be some bugs), I could give it to you for a test drive for free. This would also help me to hunt down bugs and get some feedback on the UI.
What do you think?
Requirements:
JRE/JDK 1.2.2 or later (= runs on Unix, Linux, Windows, etc)
128Mb RAM preferred (although the largest runtime chunk was only 22Mb with 1000 users)
P2 266MHz or faster (the max CPU load I got was 9% on my dual P3/450 with HEAVY user load)
it does _NOT_ require any http server, cgi, perl, php, asp or any other components. Truly standalone.
