Connecting
to the Server
To
begin chatting, it is necessary to connect to a ChatSpace Server.
A server can be easily located by browsing the ChatSpace Community
Directory, highlighting the server's listing, and clicking on
it. If you are not looking for a particular server, this is also
a good place to browse the different chat servers that are currently

signing on to a server for the first time, the login panel will
be displayed. If you come back to this server, it will usually
remember the nickname and password you used last time -- in which
case you won't have to enter them again.
Once
you sign on, you will be presented with the ChatSpace Java Client.
The ChatSpace Java Client Interface is depicted below:
