	Are you running apache-1.3?  I am, but the examples the jwchat
	site has are for v2 of apache.  I finally used the <Virtual *>
	example, put it into the apache httpd.conf and I finally 
	stopped getting a 404  err.  

	The jabber daemon:: *yes*.  A few hours ago I found the FAQ 
	pages on the ejabberd site and realized I needed not only to
	add/modify several strings but uncomment them.  "%" isn't
	normally used as a comment token.

	JWchat looks like it'll serve well ... if I ever get the
	bloody thing set up!

	thanks for your help,

	gary

	PS: the chap who was helping me via message board has to think
	    i'm a moron ... won't be the 1st time:-)
