While you won't be able to actually see or join in the chat without java enabled, here's a little description FYI. havChat is a Java^TM based multiuser chat. Both the client and server parts are written in Java^TM. The client's chat features include various commands for configuring and floating the display as well as setting up private and ignore groups within a room. The server support multiple rooms, optional assigned user id/passwords, open and closed rooms, public and private (password reuired) rooms and other typical admin functions.

In addition to normal chatting, the client supports a shared whiteboard feature. Chatters can all see and modify a popup picture. A Paintbrush-like set of drawing tools are available for use on the whiteboard. Pictures must originate from the server from which the client is loaded (in order to keep a disruptive chatter from sending questionable material to other chatters. Also - the whiteboard supports printing and saving of pictures - though tese features currently work for only netscape users.
