Let me know if you want me to give it a whack...

Thanks Mark,
Java chats can be server and bandwidth intensive, so perl or php scripts are ideal, using a "server push" technique, instead of refresh as most java scripts do.
Developing a script from scratch maybe an overkill, since there are quite a few open source chat scripts available. At the time when we installed it, phpMyChat was the best around.
We can revisit the available ones and see if anythign sounds good:

http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scri...s/Chat_Scripts/
Integration should not a big deal, I'd take care of it.
