Try this one first: Hazelden Chat

Requires: Chatspace software download (painless, auto install) No registration needed.
Excellent format, friendly chatters.
Right click in the member list for a wide range of options.

Requires: Just sign into the new chat with a user id and password - no registration needed.
Pretty basic chat program, but adequate.
Nice, professional site, but not alot of chatters when I visited. I hope they succeed!
They do have scheduled chats, and it appears that they will extend the schedule as they add volunteer hosts.

Requires: Registration (appears to be free)
I didn't actually *use* the chat room, but it appears that it is uses of the standard java based chat software programs, with adequate features.
Be prepared for a gazillion pop-up ads. Just close them as you go along.
Chat is open 24/7, with scheduled support meetings
I get SO Tired of seeing the Chat101 content illegally copied in violation of the copyright laws. It would be so much better if they would just link to this site <sigh>.

Requires: Download of voice chat software (automatic download)
Room selection: Mens, Womens, Main, and Private.
This is a VOICE chat, not typed. May be a great choice if you have a good Internet connection.
