First of all, I'm not sure if that is possible. How sophisticated have Javascript client apps become? Could you download and run say an entire tiny IM/IRC client app in your browser? Even if that was possible, one downside would be that it would function like a "normal" IM/IRC app and require more ports than 80. The web based hack may be more agreeable politically as it doesn't require any extra ports to be open. Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
