If you have a Java applet, then the user will see just a "webpage", so what's the problem? Do you think the PolChat "web" chats are "web-based"? They are just Java Applets that connect to a Java (yuck) server behind the scenes. Find a suitable Java IRC applet client, set up your own IRC server accessible only from your host with an associated proxy to which the IRC applet will connect and authenticate. If the proxy verifies that the connection is legit and comes from your machines (i.e. from a Java applet hosted on your server) then it forwards the connection to your IRC server. marek -- Visit: http://caudium.net - the Caudium WebServer /* A completely unrelated fortune */ There once was a freshman named Lin, Whose tool was as thin as a pin, A virgin named Joan From a bible belt home, Said "This won't be much of a sin."
