What is "Ready for VietUni (for Vietnamese) "?

Certain Pop-Up blockers may stop the chat program since it comes up in it's own window. Mine seems to not mind it, but if it fails to work try to disable your pop-up blocker.

Ok fixed the amount of chat lines to around 80, Xster brought up a nice point that if alot of people are on you may miss alot of the text. The default was 20 lines, way too short.

I found a neat page that has basic phrases in Vietnamese, but it says that they are for speaking only, that in writing they won't make any sense. LOL

kinda laggy after reaching buffer.

Do the lines need to be cut down and to what do you think ?

I don't know, sometimes it is just jumpy, maybe scale down the buffer back to 20 and see what happens....Or is there another chat client out there that might work better? This is definitely not my cup o tea, I am just an end-user with criticism!!
