You know, Eric, I think that if you tell someone something like this,
you should point out that an activeX control is a microsoft-only
solution. It will only work with Internet Explorer, thus excluding over
half the people -- and only on Windows, excluding some more people. This
would explain why activeX controls are used by relatively few
webmasters.

So, Adri, If you want a chat applet that works cross-browser and
cross-platform, you could find various java applets at www.gamelan.com.

That's my two cents worth.
