Hi, I've recently been frustrated trying to chat on certain servers that appear to insist using a java/web-based irc client as opposed to a normal irc client that uses port 6667 or whatever. Example: yahoo insists on using a java irc applet, techtv insists on using a java irc applet. I'm sure there are others. Using Java on Netscape is a real PITA because it's so flakey and unstable, still. Plus I just don't like it for security reasons. Do any of you use these chat areas? Have you found a suitable alternative, or do you just put up with the Java clients? -- David S.

After all, I'm older than most western countries. -- George Burns To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
