Yes... thanks for hopping in and helping with info Spikes!
As Spikes said, you should be able to use any version of phpFreeChat. However, I've only worked with the latest 1.8-beta.
Also, as Spikes said, there are a series of issues (though nothing completely killer) with phpFreeChat's latest beta - particularly with IE7. As best I can tell, they are working on fixes, but it seems slow going. Nevertheless, I still like phpFreeChat, as it seems pretty feature-rich, it's free, and it has a flat, non-DB backend; which means it will not screw up your database!
The plugin itself - what I wrote and posted here - is really a simple wrapper. It just creates a space for the phpFreeChat session in the MyBB code and gives some control over it to to the admins via the Admin CP.
As I've said before, I'm just learning PHP, so I'm far from a guru. Nevertheless, I'm still trying to put some time into this and improve it as much as the "wrapper" can improve. phpFreeChat, while open source, is still a bit over my head. So, I'll stay on the plugin side and hope others working that project make that better.
.
Anyway, please stay tuned and don't hesitate to dig into the code I provided here. Many of you are probably more astute than I here, and may find you have much to contribute.

The plugin isn't available anymore! Are you taking it back to the drawing board?
