• Send private messages using @username
• List active users in current channel

Start a Server

$ python server.py
# or specify a port as command-line argument
$ python server.py 8888
# Running chat server at 192.168.1.1:8888

Start many clients

$ python client.py HOST:PORT
# e.g. python client.py 192.168.1.1:8888
