Live Person Support/Chat

[David Byrnes]

We would like to add a "Live Chat" function to our web site, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good chat application for this. We only need to be able to communicate with one person at a time, so a simple package that's easy to install, and will run from our page here on Powweb would be best. Any suggestions? :cool:

I have used Help Center Live (http://www.helpcenterlive.com/) on one of my own servers before in a large scale intranet environment. I would assume it would work here, though I haven't tried it.

Also, hotscripts.com (http://hotscripts.com) has a nice listing (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Customer_Support/Live_Support/index.html) of Live support systems in PHP...

Sorry, not much of a help, but somewhere to start...

Thanks. I'll take a look at these.

Actually, for anyone who is contemplating adding this service, I found an excellent solution. http://www.boldchat.com offers a 1 on 1 live support chat service, FREE! For more users, they charge a modest monthly fee.

they use their servers and have an embedded interface for your website. Also IRC compatible.

best of all - free. :) but they do accept donations.
