The BBS I help run is in dire need of a good chat program. We're looking for a program that allows BBS users to chat with each other in a forum style, preferably similar to the CB simulator on Compuserve. Almost anything will do since we have nothing right now. Thanks in advance! -- ____ /____ ____ ____ | Barry Brown, barry@cavevax.ucsb.edu / / / | | / | For a good time: \/ / | | /\ | rlogin cavevax.ucsb.edu -l bbs \ / |----| / \ | telnet 128.111.41.100

The IRC (internet relay chat) system posted to alt.sources a while
back should do well for you. IRC has the capability to interconnect
with other IRC servers around the Internet, but it's trivial to
configure it to be just a local system.

I received pointers to some chat programs, but they seemed to be for SysV or other non-BSD systems and refused to compile correctly on cavevax. The BBS, incidentally, is Citadel/UX.
