Answer 1

Another option is to roll your own with Indy components that come with Delphi. There's actually an Indy chat demo available. (grab from their SVN demo repo: https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10Demos )

There are a few component libraries that you can buy to help with this project. One of them is from AidAim software:
