    CuteMessenger: Implementing custom user control showing list of on/offline users & Question about scalability

    Dear CuteSoft Team
     
    We would like to integrate CuteMessenger in a middle sized application. We already downloaded the demo version and did some tests. The interfaces to integrate CuteMessenger in an existing user database are really great and we can directly use it.
     
    As we would like to have an integrated user list (not in a separated window -> as shown in picture below) we are looking for an interface to login/logout, to set the status of the current user (busy, away etc.) and to read the list of on/offline users.
    The developers guide does not describe how to do that. Do you have any documentation or example code showing how to get this data from the CuteChat business layer?
     
     
    Besides the question of integration we would like to know how many concurrent users CuteMessenger can process. Article http://www.cutesoft.net/forums/19250/ShowPost.aspx says that the maximum is 200 per chat room. Are there any figures available for CuteMessenger? (our server: Xeon 2GHz / 1GB RAM)
    When running the CuteMessenger demo the IIS logfile tells us that every CuteMessenger window is sending a request to the server every second! As we have customers with slow connection (ISDN or even less) this may lead to bad performance. Is it possible to decrease the "ping frequency"? Do you have any expierences with CuteMessenger when using a slow connection? 
     
    Thanks a lot for your fast feedback!
    CuteMessenger is a great application  and we really would like to integrate it in our framework!
     
    Regards
