    And here's a web-based ajax jabber client that can likely be used
    as a replacement for phpfreechat:
    http://jwchat.org/

    It works for me on firefox but not opera. Server openwetware.org,
    username/password as normal.

>     - chat away

>     For chat rooms, the service is called conference.openwetware.org
