If you want a chat room, then maybe you need an IRC client like http://www.pjirc.com/ I set up a company with Corporate ICQ once, it was free, but the server runs on NT, and I never tried to connect a Linux ICQ client to it. It's kinda discusting, but they use it a lot, even over a WAN. Best to search freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net and try a couple out for yourself. Good Luck. Scott.
