I've set up a page for 'chat' (keyboard to keyboard with multiple people) for beekeepers' use. It has some advantage in that it doesn't require IRC or telnet software, but just a normal (Java enabled) brower. Give it a try at: http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/chat.htm Who knows? It may be a good place to 'check in' just to see who else is connected. Any problems or comments to me (as the setup is pretty experimental, I expect some teething problems!)
