With IRC, e.g. Undernet, you can easily set up your own completely private channels with access restricted to your own selected users. Also using the Undernet network it means that your users can access your private channel and participate in the chat even if they are in another part of the world e.g. on a business trip or on vacation. It also means that friends and relatives of your users who may be in other parts of the world could participate in the channel as well by invitation. This I would suggest is your best route. ___________________________________ Adrian Cooper | apc@enterprise.net Enterprise PLC | http://www.enterprise.net Leading Internet Services in the British Isles.
