My suggestion is to just use Web Crossing - http://webcrossing.com.
Yes, I speak as someone who works for Web Crossing, so I am not an unbiased observer. But there are incredibly low-cost Web Crossing solutions that make it worthwhile to consider, rather than reinventing the wheel. Plus WebX (Web Crossing) works great with Revolution, and is just as cross-platform. I even have an alpha version of an IM/Whiteboard working with a Revolution client and Web Crossing server as the backend. You can read about that project at http://webxedu.com/WebXClient/. The nice thing is you start with the following completely free, all built-in to Web Crossing - including a native, object-oriented database and integrated user directory: * web server * ftp server * SMTP/POP3/IMAP server * themes * scalable chat/live events server built in! * news server * xml-rpc support * server-side scripting * distributed and mirrored serving for large-scaling and then you can add in whatever bulletin board, blog, polls, classrooms, wiki, neuron (multimedia shared databases), etc., that you want to the system. It's perfect for Revolution-based clients. doug On 5/11/04 7:54 AM, "Brent Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello. > > I haven't exactly tried out the BB's or mail with this, but I am > experimenting with a way to do chatting.
