Jabber doesn't require HTTP polling ... standard TCP/IP streams work :-)

Basically, the same thing that a couple of other guys proposed, is what
I propose.  You have a Jabber client on the web server where the "user
interface" is actually just a UNIX domain socket (and/or a TCP/IP port on
localhost), and then have your PERL/PHP/ASP/Python/whatever CGI-compatible
scripts connect to this jabber client every time the user wants to
do something.  All the scripts have to do then is send queries ("user
wants to start a chat with dave at dave.tj" or whatever) to the back-end
jabber client and read responses ("create a new chat frame/window for
a chat with dave at dave.tj so the user can start chatting"), which makes
them extraordinarily simple.

Best of luck,
 - Dave

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
