As you all know kids love chat rooms, at the moment during 'club time' and in the sixth form they access them, or at least try to access them constantly. Whilst I am sure that Apache could, being used as a proxy, block them, I have not bothered as BT, who're taking us over, will do the blocking. What I am after is a piece of FREE software that would allow me to set up our own chatroom on our intranet. Any ideas? Jamie J W Philpott Head of ICT Charles Burrell High School, Thetford, Norfolk

There are several IRC and ICQ servers downloadable from the internet - although the only ones I've seen run under windows. -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School

Most likely ports of the unix versions :) Try looking under section n1 on the SuSE disk(s) for ircd.rpm. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

We did have chat software some time ago, but had to close it down because of non-parliamentary language. I tried it in my exchange school too, and had to close that down even faster. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-820527 or 07798 636725 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk

Exactly the same here. After that, we cobbled up our own web-based chatroom, which simply called a cgi-bin application on the intranet server which read the submissions and sent them on their way. But now they simply use WWW chatrooms, and I've near enough given up trying to control it. An interesting side effect is the rate at which pages with prohibited text are added to the blacklist... -- Martin Devon Stonar
