netChimes Feature List
unlimited connections
 
netChimes supports an unlimited number of server connections. This is perfect for developers or administrators that maintain several domains! You can also add friends' domains!
unlimited alerts
 
Each connection supports an unlimited number of Alert configurations. Each Alert, identified by a unique Alert ID, is hard-coded into the PHP on the server-side, and received by netChimes on the client side. Each Alert ID can be configured to correspond to a unique WAV sound byte to create a distinct audible alert.
unlimited clients
 
The server scripts can notify an unlimited number of clients. Perfect for when you want to let all of your friends hear what's going on in your server. This is a necessity for large teams with members spread over several offices, or with telecommuting members!
password protected
