First you need to decide if you want to do text chat or voice chat.
For text chat, windows/msn messenger, aol messenger, yahoo messenger and
IRc are a few of the accessible choices.
for voice chat, you can use the voice chat features in msn or yahoo
messenger for example or you could use skype from
www.skype.com
or try some voice chat sites designed with the blind in mind like
www.vipconduit.com
www.for-the-people.com
www.audio-tips.com
http://www.tafn.org.uk/
In general, accessibility of general chat sites will vary widely and many
of them that use a lot of java will remain inaccessible. But I'm sure the
above will get you started - and maybe addicted. <g>
Enjoy!

Hello List,
I want to explore the use of internet chat rooms. How do they work? Are
they all accessible? How do I find one?
All help appreciated.
