I'm on an ISDN [single 64Kb B-Channel] and even using the JAVA 
interface, response was very good!

Hi Andrew,
As I am using the IBM WB V2.03, which doesn't come with chatzilla 
built-in, I'm really glad that you had that JAVA link on your page, as I 
was able to successfully participate in the ASIA/Australasia VOICE 
Speakout #2 with Jav van Wijk last evening here, and for a first attempt 
ever at 'chat', I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the facility!  Looks like that has prompted the setup of an 
Australian Channel, through ecssite.com facilities provided by Ian 
Manners, and hopefully that will enlarge the OS/2 community here!

Would have been a lot simpler than the to-and-fro we had via private 
e-mail the other day!

Having now found the extension-room for Mozilla etc., related things, I 
now have Chatzilla, which didn't come built-in to IBM WB V2.03.
