Web Based Client
If you do not have a IRC client or prefer to not use one to connect to our chat rooms you can use our web based java client that wil
l run from your browser window. This client will run from a separate window that will popup when you click on the link below unless
you have disabled Javascript in which case it will open in a normal sized window.
When you click on the link to launch the chat program it will be necessary to download some components of the software to your compu
ter. This will cause a window to appear asking if you would like to allow these components to download and run on your machine and
that the software is from Metrasoft and named WebChat. You must specify that you want to allow these files to download and run befo
re the software will work. These files are completely harmless and you have nothing to worry about. If this still bothers you, the
n you should use one of the above IRC clients instead.
