CGI IRC for the chat room?

Any chance of this, as many can't use the room because of the restrictive firewalls in place at work.

this man speaks good ideas!

Still requires the same ports open though, so a firewall will still block it....

No so.. I can access their example room. I can also access the planetarion CGI IRC channel. I can't access ours

i dont know much about this, but.. CGI irc would make a connection to the IRC server from the webserver wouldn't it. Rather than java doing it on the client side. with the connection being server side, a firewall cannot block it?

Ah, I didn't look at it properly - i thought it was an application ... doh... yes, then it looks like it would work.... :chin:
