Reading the KDE help of IRC, I must connect to a server chat room.
You connect to a server, where you then select to enter a channel (chat room).
In KDE you KSirc, you find it in the internet menu.
Can I create that chat room on my website server and what
software should I use to do that?
You can use a web based irc client, there are modules to a load of popular
portals, which you can use or rewrite to be stand alone, but as you will use
your website this will cause lag time, a user gains a lot from using IRC
directly, faster, more features.
These people that will be using this are not exceptionally computer
savvy.
Mozilla/SeaMonkey has a built in IRC client, so that should be easy for them
to use IRC.
I have trouble getting them to access the website, so KISSY KISSY
would be the best approach.
If they have trouble to access your website, then they would have even less
chance of using a web based chat on your site.
Do you know of any software I could put on
the server and ask the users to just point there bowser to something
like:

Use Rewrite Rules, most apaches are isntalled with th needed module (don't
know if thats true for microsoft)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /page/they/load.html
