So, decide who all amongst you wants to chat and connect all your machines with LAN cable. The more, the merrier! All you got to do now is choose who�d like to be the server amongst you and your roommates(sorry, there can be only one here). And yeah, you can still be a client and catch your friends bitching about you. So, the user acting as server is expected to run the code for the server before the clients run the code for the clients on theirs.

� Each client can run the �client� code in as many different shells as he/she wants from the same machine and still assume a unique identity for each shell. (if you are thinking you can fool your friends here, you are forgetting that you�re in the same room. You can use a longer wire and be out of your room if you�re so keen on it, though.)
