I've just installed Zchat on my bbs. You can put the command for it right in
the VA or VBBS function blocks and run it instead of the stock
teleconference. It has commands much like an IRC client and the author is
releasing registrations for the Zlink component which has capability to link
with other bbs's and also IRC. I thought this would be fantastic if it works.
Currently I have not gotten the registration key yet but the chat program
installed in minutes and works really well. I logged in remotely and it
tested fine. This program is worth a try as a freebie.
