- Type your messages and enter Send button.
- By default sent messages will be broadcasted
- To send private messages, type -
@<receievername> <message> - To send private messages to many users, type -
@<receievername1> <receivername2> ....<receivernameN>#<message> - To see list of online users - Press List of all Users button

This is what it looks like :)
Maximum number of chat clients is a hard-coded value (currently 3) in ChatServer. After that it doesn't create any connection queue, it simply keeps on rejecting all incoming requests till total number of connections are full.
