GlassRoom is an efficient and easy-to-use chat system with a high performing HTTP tunnelled chat server. It is web-based and has an attractive interface.

Installation is quick and easy on Windows and Linux, with GlassRoom installed on Windows as a service that runs permanently on your system. A wrapper Perl script for Unix systems makes installation and running equally straightforward.
The software boasts an intuitive and easy-to-use chat applet that is both flexible and visually appealing. Communication is secured behind firewalls using HTTP-tunneling technology, and the chat server is impressively stable, with no need to restart over months or even years.
Other notable features include logging and remote administration capability, as well as the ability for moderators to ban users' IP addresses. The software also offers flood control to prevent users from quickly sending numerous messages, as well as the ability for users to easily create new rooms.
GlassRoom is designed with performance in mind, with quick reloading times for applets and images. Additionally, it includes a "chat watch" capability that replaces noise words in messages, providing a more pleasant experience for users.
The server is implemented using Java Servlet technology and includes specially designed GUI components that make the chat applet more attractive and compatible with all versions of Java, from 1.1 through 1.4. Overall, GlassRoom is a robust and user-friendly chat system that is well worth considering.
