Having wasted many minutes at tr3.org.... Too complex - okay I know it is simple, and 2 minutes with the help has most of what I need, but it is distinctly more complex than I want. > It works with telnet, though ms-telnet is nasty!nasty!nasty! I know - but we don't want to get into telnet changing - I may run JTA the Java telnet Applet for some, but not for Windows users, the whole point is to avoid downloads, installs, or anything people can do wrong. I want simple clean multiuser chat, no message boards (needed), clean prompts for typing, no need to prefix speech with "say or tell" unless doing something special. Don't even need whisper. Would like to do basic user/password authentication. Coloured text, or other good demarkation of speakers. Anyway hopefully you get the idea, foolproof, this is for people whose DNS server is still lame weeks after being notified, who have flash on their website, you get the idea. Okay they are probably use to computers failing, but I don't want to go there.
