Hi Jake!

If you are running your own server, you may want to take a look at
http://www.infochat.com .  The set-up is easy, and seems to run quite well.
I believe this software is packaged with both Linux and NT versions.  This
program is Java (not JavaScript) based.

On the other hand, there are a lot of cgi based chat-rooms available.  One
that I started playing with a while ago, is by Selena Sol, now at
http://www.extropia.com .  These scripts are written in perl and will
require you server have perl installed.

There are many JavaScript chat-room packages available, but nowadays, it
seems as if a lot of users are getting worried about security and disabling
JavaScript.

Hi There,

Does anyone know of any good software that will help me create live chat
rooms on a web site?

BTW - Thanks to all who gave me advice on Password protectors - it was a
tremendous help!
