I have search on the web to find a nice webbased chat to connect to an irc server without using mIRC.
As i found one and it works fine for me atm, maybe its something what others also can use but then implemented into YABBSE. or at least u wud hav some more ideas how u can get it working for yourself.
The bad thing for slow internetusers is that u hav to download the Sun java clients which is about 5Mb, but that is a one time installation.
u can find the demo
herethe original location is
hereThe irc client does the following atm:
Full color support
Full IRC compatibility
Easy configuration through a config file
Multiple channel support
Fully Themable/customizable graphics
Ability to connect to any server you specify
i hope u can use it
