Configurable PHP chat solution

Hi, I'm looking for a chat system based on php. I found a few but they don't fit my needs. I already have a table where I store user id and encrypted password and would like the chat to look there for authentication so that users don't have to have two ids.

Any recommendations?

do you plan to use an exclusively php chat system? If so, you're going to have a lot of page refreshes and it won't be a very smooth interface.

I'd suggest looking into an alternative (ajax, java applet, flash etc).

I looked all over hell and the internet for a good open source PHP Chat. No such thing in existance. There's a couple out there but like Burrito said their slow and unresponsive. There are several JAVA based chats out there but nothing great for free as in beer.
