PHPOpenChat (POC) is a web-based chat system written in PHP 4 as Open Source Software (OSS). Your advantage is that you may use it without charge even for commercial purposes. Your disadvantage is that you have no [anspruch] for support or fulfillement of any requirements although some volunteers might give you support and some functionality may be provided. To operate the chat system you won't need any commercial software packages, although it might run with one of these too. Instead it is sufficient to have Linux, Apache, PHP 4 and MySQL (LAMP) and of course a server computer attached to the internet (or any kind of TCP/IP network).
