there is a log file kept on the server
which contains all chat-text
(amongst other things)...
I use the following line in my startup script
to make VNet run on ariadne (a FreeBSD system):
java VSystem 8888 30 >>/tmp/VSystem.log 2>&1 &
[that is all one line
in case your email client
messes with long lines]
the part that says ">>/tmp/VSystem.log"
makes sure a log file
called "VSystem.log" in the directory "/tmp"
gets appended to (or created if it doesn't exist)
with all the logons/offs and chat-text
BTW: I often use the following command
in a telnet window
so I can "track" things as they arrive at the server
(and thus understand issues like "lag"):
tail -f/tmp/VSystem.log
hope this helps...
