What other clients can I use for the Chatterbox?"</i>
</p><p>
Try one of these alternate programs/scripts/pages for the Chatterbox,
categorized for your convenience:
<ul>
<li>No installation required, click and type.</li>
<ul>
<li>[FullPage Chat] and [http://pthbb.org/cb/|Enhanced FullPage Chat] - web page w/ frames.</li>
<li>[id://725405] - lets you "detach" the [About the Chatterbox Nodelet|Chatterbox Nodelet]. </li>
<li>[id://220674]. (The code is allegedly [http://sourceforge.net/projects/jchatter/|available at Sourceforge],
if you would rather deal with a standalone app than embedded java applets.)</li>
<li>The [chatterbox sidebar] doesn't require manual installation, but on most modern browsers,
you can bookmark it, edit the properties of the bookmark, and use it as a sidebar.</li>
<!--
<li>[im2] has a stream of the CB at
<a href="telnet://desert-island.dynodns.net:4040">desert-island.dynodns.net</a>
port 4040 - type <code>telnet desert-island.dynodns.net 4040</code> at a command prompt
if your browser doesn't support <code>telnet://</code> style links</li>
