Yes, I've used Phoenix and I know it's faster. Still, I believe it's too slow for the 68k family and probably even for 603/604 CPUs. But that is beside my main point, which is that the porting of Gecko+GUI+possible extras is a MAJOR undertaking and even a working beta is probably years away.

CheetaChat
Is by FAR The very best Chat client.

You obviously haven't seen (or used) it or you wouldn't have said that !!

I'd chip in £50 for someone to port Cheetachat over.

@The_Editor

CheetaChat is not an IRC client at all.  It is a chat client, and it is really good--but it isn't an irc client.  

Even if it had IRC capabilities, it has none of the basic features required to be a good IRC client--let alone compete against the feature set of AmIRC.  

After all of that, I would still like to have CheetaChat on my Amiga or Pegasos.  Because there is more chat than IRC ;-)

@ The_Editor, was it really necessary to write bollocks in big capital letters?

[The_Editor]

@ Targhan ... I sit corrected !!   Although Voice chat & Web cams & File send (DSS ?) are incorporated in CheetaChat.

@ Lorddef ... ok ...sorry  .. here ..* [color=CC0033]*BOLLOCKS*[/color][/b]

wtf is cheetachat?

[The_Editor]

CheetaChat

Its the Dogz Danglies.

@The_Editor

wtf r u talking about?

Everyone know GAIM is the best multi-protocol chat client ever.  It's multiplatorm as well.  If someone ports GTK2 we could have it for Amiga's too.

Gaim supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer (coming soon),

Coming Soon ?

cheetaChats had it Donkeys long ago.

Messenger .. Ha  Ha .. That crap thing .. cheetachats had that yonks ago to !!

Copy & Paste from Site.  

Major Win Gaim bugs and Workarounds


BUGS?

Come back when you get it finished !!

No Webcam support ?  Voice Chat ? Custom Avatars  ?  ....................

And of course .. If you want to become a *Paying* user of CheetaChat ...there's a damn site more on offer.

It's nice to see software from linux ported to amiga or other platforms, but one thing is inevitable: the inherited bloatware.

X-Windows and its widgets is not the GUI for amiga, nor for other platforms, but we have to port even part of them in order to run the graphic applications. I've recently installed X-Chat V2.x on XP and I get GTK errors very frequently, not to speak of the vanishing application (it's still very buggy, and it gets killed).

I think that it would be a resource-eater any port of linux apps, but since they don't exist any amiga-native apps, we have to endure...

So I take it you get the source for Cheetachat so you can modify it to suit your needs then? ;-)

This is a common misconception about unix software.  Just because GTK uses X on unix, doesn't mean that it has to use it on other platforms.

[The_Editor]

I couldnt code it if I could get the sources !!

Go go go go! I wan Mozilla on my Amiga! :-)
