Private chat facilty

One of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions, but I'll ask anyway ;) My framework has had a communal shoutbox facility for a long time, but with many sites now having 'instant chat' my clients are asking can we do something like it. Some sites are still constrained by slow internet connections, but a couple of sites should be capable of supporting this. Google is throwing up a lot commercial packages, and I'll plow on through to see if can find something open source I can play with, but has anybosy already been through that exercise and come up with something they find useful. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
