Instant messenger

I run a social networking site. I am looking to give Premier subscribers a means to 'initiate' chat with other members who may be online. A regular member can however only respond to chat requests and not initiate one.

I am looking for an instant messenger solution (commercial/open source). The solution should work with the existing authentication mechanism. I have seen some sites do it with flash solutions.

If anyone know of such a solution, I would really appreciate your help.

Are you using a prebuilt system for authentication or inhouse? Most offerings won't simply work with any system out of the box - and those that support integration generally support things like vBulletin through custom modifications done to the files

Actually, we have inhouse perl CGI modules that store the userid/password in a database table and use cookies to manage login sessions.
